The Wellington Improvisation Troupe, aka WIT, is a member-based community group established in 2003 (official certificate of incorporation!) to bring improv and happiness to Wellington.   [History of those beginning times . . .]

WIT teaches performs and teaches the skills of improvisational theatre at venues around the Wellington region, with occasional forays further afield.

Our theatre is made up on the spot, usually based on suggestions from the audience.  WIT players share a love of storytelling and work together as a team to inspire the audience, we’re sometimes serious, often hilarious and always totally unpredictable.

Way back in 2003 performers from the Micetro show that won the New Zealand International Fringe Festival Best Comedy Award decided it was about time they formed a group that had a name.  WIT brought together many of Wellington’s improvoholics, out of work actors and bored public servants, and a decade and then some years later is going strong.

We’re a registered charity, with a constitution, and a formal process for electing a committee from among our members.

Our official entry on the Charities Commission website (search on Wellington Improvisation, or for registration number CC52293) includes some important documents, such as the rules under which WIT was established and still operates.

Nestled among the proper legal language of our establishing rules, WIT’s objects.

WIT also has a Wikipedia Entry.
