(We won’t make you smell anything unpleasant during this production. In fact, the only thing we’ll ask you to smell are roses.)

Amber Nash (beloved Dad’s Garage ensemble member and the voice of Archer’s Pam Poovey) and Greg Tavares’ (the man, the myth, the improv legend) new book, Improv for Couples: Fun Games for You and Your Partner, is out now, and this is your opportunity to grab a signed copy and laugh your butt off seeing it in action at this special performance-cum-book-signing!

Improv for Couples is a playful guide designed to help couples of all backgrounds discover the joy of connection through improv—No prior improv experience necessary!

Whether you’ve been together for 30 days or 30 years, Improv for Couples offers fun and easy-to-play games that will make you laugh and unleash your playful side. Improv is not just about being funny—it’s about truly connecting with your partner. 

Don't miss this opportunity to see a hilarious show and support these hilarious and beloved performers’ new book! 

This event is FREE TO ATTEND! Reserve your spot by clicking the button below. Space is limited!

Kevin Gillese and Whittney Millsap lead the rest of the Dad’s Garage ensemble in an onslaught of short-form hootenanny directed not just to you, but the (phone) camera! 

That’s right—this show isn’t just an on-stage improv show. It’s a live taping! Take a look behind the curtain and see what it means to be funny for the camera instead of a live audience (though we guarantee it will be funny for you, the live audience, too!)

Two partners with a turbulent history must reunite for one last case and stop a mastermind’s lethal scheme from tearing the city apart. What’s the twist? You tell us!

The Dad’s Garage ensemble stars in the inspired-by-the-genre-of-the-same-name Buddy Cops, a show where you, the audience, shape what dramatic, nefarious trials and tribulations await a cast of characters that you, the audience, design! Come direct the buddy cop flick of your dreams and watch us bring it to life—like magic!—live on stage!

Dad’s Garage brings together puppies and people for an adorable and one-of-a-kind comedy show! Each night, a proud pup parent (or foster parent) shares heartwarming (and often hilarious) stories about their dog while our improvisers create scenes inspired by those tales. And to make things even cuter, the puppy gets in on the action!

Every performance features a different local shelter or rescue organization dedicated to helping our furry friends, and a portion of the ticket sales supports their work. It’s comedy, cuddles, and a cause—all in one unforgettable show!

The Dad’s Garage fan-favorite improvised soap opera returns for season 26! Presenting: SCANDAL! Waterpark!

​​Family-owned Old Froth Ward, once the ultimate summer destination and a bastion of aquatic excess, is now on the brink of closure due to increased accidents, bad investments, failed rides, rumored water issues, and internal family drama. As the summer season begins, unsettling questions arise amongst the park and the public like floaters in a churning wave pool of uncertainty: What is the future of Old Froth Ward? Will a corporate giant convert the park into a luxury resort, or will the current ownership's grandiose ambitions revive it? Or will it become an abandoned relic washed away in the splashing stream of capitalism's water coaster? The park’s future hinges on the decisions made in the heat of this summer's primetime season when corporate greed, summer jobs, and family drama collide! 

Will Old Froth Ward evolve to outlast the 1990s, or be doomed by past mistakes? Find out in SCANDAL! Waterpark (sploosh!)
