The Improv Plate - Fringe Festival Kickoff!

Grab a sticker and a slice of pizza as The Focus Theater kicks off Fringe Fest 2025!

Show us your ticket confirmation for a fringe show at the theater, and spin the prize wheel to win cool merch and coupons for future Focus shows. This free event, featuring the monthly Improv Plate, is open to all ages.

The Improv Plate brings together anyone interested in improv in the Rochester area to play on teams made up on the spot. Still not sure? That’s okay, it’s also fun to just sit and watch. People from all levels of improv experience are welcome to throw their name in the hat and play. Teams will be picked at random at the beginning of the show and then given five minutes to prepare. Next, each team performs for one another and ridiculous prizes are created and awarded.

Rochester Fringe Festival runs from September 9th to September 20th. The Focus has exciting shows every day of the fest, so be sure to grab your tickets today!
