[edit] History
Scared Scriptless Improv is Alaska's longest-running improv troupe and has performed all over Alaska since 2000. Founded by Tom Atkins, Joan Cullins and Jason Martin (current Director) in 2000, Scared Scriptless originally performed at Sidestreet Espresso in downtown Anchorage but quickly outgrew the space. The troupe next moved to Cyrano's Playhouse late in 2000. By 2005 they were ready to grow again and moved to midtown Anchorage's Wild Berry Theater performing there for 3 years. In 2009 they moved back downtown to the Snow Goose Theater.
