(the) Unruly Theatre Company is The Alden’s professional teen improv company dedicated to bringing comedic performances to the community. Members audition to be in the company and are paid for each performance or workshop they do for the community.

UTP’s season is late-September through May. Company members rehearse twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday from 7–9 p.m. at the McLean Community Center and performances are held at local venues such as art galleries, the Old Firehouse Center and cafés.

Because UTP is a professional opportunity, attendance is crucial and company members serve in different roles including marketing, stage management and photography.

At The Old Firehouse, 1440 Chain Bridge Rd, Mclean, VA
