Festival Details
Open to improvisers and spectators from around the globe, the Happy Valley XL Improv Festival will truly be a Happy Valley experience. Taking place May 19th - 21st, visitors will get to experience the beauty of downtown State College and the surrounding area during one of the prettiest times of the year.
With help from a $17,500 Tourism Marketing Grant from the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau, Happy Valley Improv (HVI) aims to bring over 80 improvisers from around the country to visit the Centre Region. Submissions are already in from Denver, LA, Detroit, Baltimore, and NYC! The excitement is high to be a part of the Happy Valley XL Improv Festival.
The three festival days will be filled with great activities. Each morning will include iconic Happy Valley experiences like touring Penn State, hiking Mount Nittany, and visiting Penn’s Cave. Each afternoon and evening will be filled with workshops facilitated by professional improvisers from around the country and shows on the Blue Brick Theatre stage.
With your help, we truly can showcase how much Happy Valley has to offer for everyone – from young professionals and families to outdoor enthusiasts and retirees! Your sponsorship will allow HVI to offer heavily discounted local experiences, give us the ability to pay instructors and headliners the rate they deserve for their profession, and give all of our out-of-town guests a weekend they will never forget.
Thank you for considering how you might help to make the XL Improv Festival one of a kind! For more information about how your sponsorship can help us share what our community has to offer, please reach out to our business manager, James Tierney, at happyvalleyimprov@gmail.com or 518-569-6498.
