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.

News

Our next highlight: David Razowsky

Dear festival participants,

the weekend is over and we hope that you had a wonderful festival! Before the blues have a chance to set in, there is already something great on the horizon: The wonderful David Razowsky is coming to Wuerzburg in December, to deliver a weekend workshop in the Cairo. On the Sunday evening, David will direct a show involving all participants interested in taking part.

There are still a few places free, so if you are interested in coming back to Wuerzburg - or didn't have the chance to participate in the festival workshops this year - now is the chance!

Further information

Hooray!

Dear Würzburg, dear international guests!
Today the advance sales for all shows of this year's festival - our 15th anniversary - begins. Hooray!!! 

Sean McCann becomes workshop teacher

Unfortunately Alan Cox had to step back as one of our workshop teachers this year. But we are delighted to announce that Sean McCann, also from The School of Night in London, will be filling his space. Sean, we are very excited about having you on board!

Another workshop is underway

Big news, everyone: We’re delighted to announce that we will offer a 7th workshop at the festival taught by Mats Eldøen from Oslo/Norway - good news for 14 people from the waiting list! We’re super happy that Mats will be there for the festival… and not just to teach a workshop by the way. But more about that, when we release the show program. Which is SOON.

Come to Würzburg!

Ladies and Gentlemen - The application process for the 15th Würzburger Improtheaterfestival starts NOW! 

Starting today you’ll have two weeks (until May 31st) to apply for one of our weekend workshops and one/two of our Thursday classes. If that’s not enough for you we have good news. To celebrate our anniversary we decided to add an extra day to the festival and let it start on Wednesday, Oct. 26th already with a special show. Come to Würzburg early and celebrate with us! We can’t wait to have you here!
