About us

Würzburger Improtheaterfestival e.V.

Welcome to the website of the Würzburger Improtheaterfestival e.V.!
Our association is committed to the art form of improvised theatre in Würzburg.

Besides shows with international guests we offer workshops to improve in this form of theatre.

The core and annual highlight is our international festival in October. But also during the year various improv-projects take place, such as the MaestroTM, that offers not only the stage to guests and Würzburg players but also a exciting evening for the audience.

going small and cozy

You wondering what we have in store for you at the 16th Würzburger Improtheaterfestival? It's time for some delicious revelations!
Everything changes and so does the festival. Having put on a big and crazy anniversary extravaganza last year, we decided to go small and cosy in 2017. From Oct. 26th until 29th we will give you four workshops that will not only take 12 but 18 hours! We are super excited about an intense experience that will allow this year's participants to go deep into each workshop subject...
Stay tuned for more details.
