An hour long improvised hero’s adventure following a basic structure parsed by Joseph Campbell. A team of actors moving and breathing in tandem will depict monstrous beasts and terrifying deities encountered during a spontaneously created theatrical tale of trials and transformation of a lone hero.

Philly Improv Theater (PHIT) is a showcase for Philadelphia comedy shows - and home to the best improv, sketch, stand-up and variety comedy Philadelphia has to offer! In addition to our more than 300 popular and affordable BYOB shows at The Shubin Theatre each year, PHIT has also produced for the Philly Fringe Festival and taken its company on the road throughout the United States (to New York, Los Angles, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Baltimore, Austin, Seattle & other great cities and states). PHIT’s Training Center is the largest of its kind between New York and Chicago and introduces hundreds of everyday people to the world of comedy each year. We offer extensive training in improv, sketch comedy, stand-up, and storytelling for students of all ages in a relaxed community setting with a focus on having fun, learning, and laughing a lot. Students and instructors from PHIT have gone on to become performers on our stage, hot acts at comedy festivals around the country, published authors, and even writers and performers for TV.
