About Secret City Improv Festvial 2023

The Secret City Improv Festival is returning for our third year!

Our goal for the Secret City Improv Festival is to provide an environment to foster networking opportunities and collaboration for teams from all around. Our mission is to showcase a diversity of teams and styles on the stage and to foster growth through workshops.

We will continue building off of the successful Slayden Intensives program we began last year. We will also be holding the incredibly fun Slayden Cup Tournament again, and we will be offering a jam and a special Saturday afternoon show this year.

The City of Oak Ridge, while known as the Atomic City, has a rich history with the arts. From a long-standing tradition of theater with the Oak Ridge Playhouse to a renowned ballet company and a regular stand-up comedy showcase, Oak Ridge, TN is a city that can appreciate the art of Improv.

We aim to present a festival that showcases the best Improv we can assemble. We want to see a sample of your troupe in action with the current cast. Also, we will have video and photography produced from this festival!

So come enjoy the spectacular colors of the East Tennessee fall, have a glass of sweet tea, and come play on our stage!
