Welcome!

Trapped In A Rumor is an Improv Company based out of the East Bay that performs improvisational community theatre.  We are live, unscripted, and unpredictable.  If you've ever seen 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' then you already know a bit of what we're about.  Short form improv is comprised of brief, unrelated scenes with actors who are spontaneously called onstage and then given games or characters to play out on the spot.  Now here's where you come in.  Most of the time we take our leads from the audience, so a smart and sassy group is key for a great show.  Keep in mind that performances of Trapped In A Rumor are PG-13 unless otherwise advertised. When you come to see us be prepared to participate!  We're counting on your suggestions, your laughs, and your luster!  What happens next is anybody's guess.

The performances of Trapped In A Rumor are generally PG-13, unless otherwise advertised.

We're counting on you guys!

Trapped In A Rumor is coming to Danville!

Trapped In A Rumor is honored that the Town of Danville has provided us with a Full Co-sponsorship.  We are grateful for the weekly rehearsal space they have provided us and consider ourselves blessed to be performing 12 shows this year in the historic Village Theatre.

Trapped In A Rumor is proud to be donating the majority of the profits from our shows to charity.  We feel it is our duty in these times of need to help those less fortunate than us any way we can.

What the Town of Danville had to say about TiR

Over the last five years, the Town’s Village Theatre has been home to a variety of comedy shows which were hosted by outside user groups.  These shows have filled theatre seats and provided an entertainment alternative to traditional theatre performances.  Hosting of an improvisational comedy troupe (Trapped In A Rumor) will meet the interests for this type of entertainment, provide a monthly entertainment destination, and provide fundraising opportunities for local community organizations.

Trapped In A Rumor Improv Presents:

Ding Dong! The Kids Are Gone

Trapped In A Rumor is proud to announce that its share of the proceeds from their September show, Ding Dong! The Kids Are Gone, will go to the ARF: Animal Rescue Foundation!

With your ticket purchase, you'll be helping a great cause! ARF saves dogs and cats who have run out of time at public shelters and brings people and animals together to enrich each others lives. ARF strives to create a world where every loving dog and cat has a home, where every lonely person has a companion animal, and where children learn to care.

ARF was created in 1991 by Tony and Elaine La Russa to address the needs of companion animals. Their vision for ARF is an organization that can not only aid abandoned and homeless animals, but also promote the concept that people's lives can be enhanced by strengthening the bonds between humans and animals. With these intertwined goals as the guiding principles, and an intention to become a national as well as local leader, ARF has designed progressive programs for many populations including abused children, the elderly, victims of violence and others who can benefit from the healing contact of animals.

ARF is growing to meet the demands of the 21st century with the first private adoption and education center in Contra Costa County, California. ARF will continue to respond to the immediate needs of animals who have been neglected, abused or deprived of love to ensure they find high quality homes. At the same time, ARF will embody the vision of a better future-one where animals are respected for the unique role they can and do play in making the world a better place for people to live and where there is a stable and loving home for every pet to complete its natural lifespan.

Join for a fun filled evening and help a great cause!

Tickets will be available through the Village Theatre's website, www.villagetheatreshows.com.
