The Institution Theater

Primarily an improv conservatory, this warehouse theater is known for its whiteboard suggestion-based improv show Highly Suggestible. If you're looking for stand-up, check out the showcases Laugh Out Proud or Smile More. The Institution maintains a very welcoming vibe, often involving the audience in their performances. Tickets will run $5 to $10, often with proceeds going to local charities like the Austin Justice Coalition.
