Magnet theater12/4/2023 We wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve seen our performers and faculty putting their Magnet training to work. They can do the same for your company, too. They’ve worked with companies such as Google, LinkedIn, The Howard Stern Show and Unilever. The Magnet Genius Machine creates and leads corporate workshops in improv and storytelling. Why yes, we can take our show on the road-just ask! Magnet Touring Company performs and teaches workshops at improv festivals around the world (North Carolina! Hawaii! Providence! Canada!). And as such, our students get comprehensive training in the styles and philosophies that have been shaping the art form for generations. Our faculty is made up of veteran instructors-both homegrown as well as transplanted from the oldest, most esteemed comedy institutions in the country. Simply put, we can teach anyone to improvise. Magnet’s philosophy is simple but it’s been working pretty well for the last 10 years. We simply love the work, and we care deeply about doing it well. It sharpens our point of view, amplifies our creative voice, and inspires us to participate in the world with renewed clarity and wonder. In this environment, studying the craft of creating in-the-moment comedy is transformative. (Like, you know, a Magnet.)Īnd because playing together with love and respect is contagious, our growing community continues to attract people who listen, support each other, and make each other look good, both onstage and off. We attract audiences to great comedy, and industry to the next generation of talent. We connect students to superior training, and performers to each other. We create connections – onstage between performers, and offstage among friends. Magnet exists to grow and nurture a community of great improvisers, writers, actors and storytellers united by their love of the work: making smart, original and brilliantly funny comedy. Magnet continues to be guided by Diaz and co-owner Sean Taylor. Where We Came FromĪfter establishing himself as an important voice in the Chicago improv community in the 1990s under the mentorship of the legendary Del Close, Armando Diaz gathered forces with other Chicago improvisers such as Ed Herbstman to create Magnet Theater in 2005. We’ve got critically acclaimed shows and classes in improv, musical improv, sketch, storytelling and more every single night of the week. Since 2005, we’ve been at the epicenter of the city’s growing improv movement-and today, we’re one of the most recognizable improv schools and theaters in the city. Magnet Theater is a performance space and training ground for the best and brightest comedic talent in New York City.
