Red Herring® may be for you!
Red Herring® is not your usual theater company. We have a fabulous time using history (and its flaws) to interact with our audiences and ensure that all of us have a wonderful time!
Don’t get us wrong, our particular brand of improv, developed over four decades, is not easy. Our independent contractors have only a few suggested line and character ideas, and the rest is up to them. They are smart, quick on their feet, and, above all, funny!
Red Herring® is dedicated to inclusivity and seeks to contract with actors of all ages, races, and gender identities. We welcome veterans and regularly use actors with a range of disabilities. We find the process of becoming a character extremely therapeutic!
If someone in history treated a group poorly, we are more than happy to MURDER them! And we’ll have a great time doing it!
