WHAT IS IMPROVAGANZA!?
A yearly event, Improvaganza! The Hawaiʻi Festival of Improv is Hawaiʻi’s only international festival dedicated to improvised comedy and improvised theatre. Improvisers from all over the world come to Honolulu for a weekend of improv performances, workshops, and events. Improvaganza! is a gathering and celebration of improvised theatre in its diverse expressions.
