Mission Statement
To provide the many communities of Greater Los Angeles and Southern California the much needed gift of laughter through accessible performance and
instruction of Improvised Comedy Theatre.
Vision
It has been said countless times by countless generations that laughter is the best medicine. This is the medicine we seek to provide. The Magic Meathands
are made up of community members of all walks of life. By bringing together members of the community and instructing them in the art of humor through
improvised comedy theatre, we create and empower a group of comedic performers who can then share the joy that humor brings with the community itself.
Using improv, we then seek to facilitate engaging, compelling and inspiring theatre that maximizes the comedic potential of any given moment. In short, we try
to be as funny as possible. It is our intention, then, to provide Greater Los Angeles and Southern California with regularly available programming that is both
affordable and accessible at as many locations as our resources will provide. As our experience grows and our process is refined, we look to expand our
craft to other formats such as film, internet streaming and live scripted work.
