About

You've seen 'Whose Line is it Anyway'. Big Canvas Improv offers improv shows and workshops for all.

Our satisfied clients include Market Church, Methodist Health Systems, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Big Canvas is a non profit organization that believes in comedy for everyone. As Omaha’s family favorite improv comedy group and school, our work features a variety of improv comedy where everything is made up on the spot.

Big Canvas is Doug Rothgeb, Eric Green, Tracie Mauk, Heather Jones, and Lindsey Theis. Each bring a variety of talents and a combined passion for performing. They met in Omaha and together they found a like minded energy every time they hit the stage. Together, the group brings decades of improv, stand up, sketch comedy, and theatre experience to the stage. Needless to say, it’s never a dull moment.

Big Canvas offers improv training workshops in addition to shows. Improv training can help with team building and public speaking. Improv is not just for actors, it provides the tools for anyone interested in learning how to think quick on their feet, be more creative, work more flexibly, and listen with intent.

Additional booking notes

Big Canvas has performed on stages of all sizes from large staged events to small art galleries. To date, we work with the location on microphones and sound. We do not bring our own sound staging/lighting/sound.
