Improv School Redlands celebrated its opening night at its new Tennessee Street location last Saturday, drawing a full house. The House Improv Team captivated the audience with a mix of games, wordplay, and a long-form improvised act.

Founded in 2019 by Ali Rafter through the 75-year-old Redlands Footlighters Theatre, the school is now led by Nik Nieblas, who took over in October 2023. Nieblas aims to create a community space that nurtures creativity and personal growth.
