Deep End Theater is committed to exploring the theatrical road less traveled, with a focus on daring improvisational theater, devised and immersive theater. We are skilled actors, improvisers, teachers and comedians, actively broadening the horizons of traditional theater with new works, a unique perspective and deep passion. We aim to go deeper, play harder, reach further, and we invite you to join us.
At Deep End we teach and employ a practice called Sound Improv. Sound Improv is a unique approach to improvisation theater that is grounded in acting, performance savvy and stage craft. In this case the word "sound" represents structural integrity as the work is built on the foundation of seven pillars of skill.
Relaxed readiness
Invested listening
Playfulness
Discovery over invention
Curiosity over judgement
Whole trust
Failure to fruition
These pillars support engaging and dynamic theatrical improvisation that feels like scripted theater. Sound improv respects improvisation as an art and a craft worthy of thorough study and dedicated performance.

Domeka has opened my mind to what a female performer can be in stage and off stage too.
