Tongue & Groove’s mission is to create theatre that has the dramatic integrity of well-crafted scene writing and the playful tension of spontaneously generated theatre. Ensemble members aim to reflect truthful expression of the human experience and focus on rich emotional, intellectual, and physical relationship exploration, both comic and dramatic in tone. In other words, Tongue & Groove aspires to create physically interesting, emotionally arresting, serio-comic theatre…that happens to be improvised.

City Paper Review, Fringe Festival 2008
If improv to you is just loud-fast-funny, you haven’t experienced Tongue & Groove’s “serio-comic realism-based improv.” Using (anonymous) audience secrets, eight skilled actors create genuine, complex, unscripted relationships. Opening night’s many scenarios were both hilarious and painful -- just like real life -- anchored by a delicate clarity, and more moving than the best scripted plays. I’m thrilled and saddened, knowing that what I witnessed will never be performed again.The good news is your own unique show with Tongue & Groove awaits; like falling in love, it’s sure to be an experience you won’t regret or forget
