About us

Values

One of the most important things we do is uphold our values: We are LGBTQIA2+-inclusive and -friendly. Black lives matter. We are welcoming of neuro-diversity. We punch up, not down.

We are intolerant of intolerance. We openly welcome those that share our values; we welcome those who don't, as long as they don't impinge upon those values.

Organization

Preposterous Productions (the organization behind Preposterous Improv), is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to comedy and theater arts in Arizona.

We've had a grand old time meeting all the lovely improv folks in Phoenix – who invariably meet us with incredulous looks, exclaiming, "You drove from Florence???" in the same tone you'd describe someone just returning from a quick jaunt over to Brussels. We saw a need to be filled (and hopefully, less often, our gas tank) by bringing improv closer to home.

Who we are

Artistic Director Kaitlyn Concilio is a seasoned improv performer who got her start in college and got her reps in at the Blue Door Theatre in Spokane, Washington, before moving to Florence.

Executive Director Joan Concilio has been doing improv and scripted theater regularly since high school. They were a box office manager and reservations director for BDT, in addition to their work behind the scenes as a writer for various theaters back East.

Director Tiffany Harms has been making 'em laugh since before she learned to talk and has been keeping 'em in stitches ever since, with theater experience on- and off-stage since middle school.
