Overview

TLM is a home grown improv troupe from Western Maine performing for public or private events. Our brand of improv includes classic games and original short and long forms.

Performing throughout New England (from Bangor to Boston), TLM has been in several improv festivals and some members were trained by Upright Citizen's Brigade instructors.

We can tailor a show to your unique needs. All ages, Mature, benefits, weddings, fundraisers, private parties, birthdays...we've done it. No two shows are the same and most rely on audience suggestions or participation on the stage itself. Booking us provides an unforgettable experience

So look us up... There's only one Teachers Lounge Mafia!

What to expect

Built from audience-provided suggestions, Teachers Lounge Mafia delivers improvisational games and sketches designed to yank people right out of mud season and on to higher ground. The group performs a combination of short, medium, and long form improv games and structures. Thus, the group performs interactive games similar to those popularized on television’s Whose Line Is It, Anyway? as well as original formats and scenes in the traditions of Second City, Groundlings, Upright Citizens Brigade, and Improv Olympic. No two shows are ever just alike.
