The Foundation
The Foundation is a supersquad of some of the best, funniest, and most attractive improvisors in Arizona, who also happen to be the founders and faculty of The Torch Theatre. A dizzying blend of Phoenix natives and transplants who have studied under awesome teachers from Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, they’ve traveled far and wide to teach and perform longform improv comedy that’s big, fun, and playful. The Foundation loves improv and loves you!
