What happens at a Laughing Matter Improv show? It is interactive theatre with audience participation-it's the audience who makes the performance happen. Improvisation is theatre of the moment and the moment is always something to laugh at. Heller Theatre was the first theatre to develop improvisational shows for Tulsa audiences and its’ Laughing Matter Improv Troupe is now in its’ fifteenth year of performances. If you like "Whose Line is it Anyway", or "Second City", you'll love Tulsa's version.

Heller Theatre is part of the Park and Recreation Department of the City of Tulsa. And has been producing contemporary plays since 1981. Heller Theatre is located at 5328 S. Wheeling, between Lewis and Peoria just south of 51st Street on Wheeling.
