HUGE Theater has some very exciting news to share:

HUGE’s lease on its current space at 3037 Lyndale Ave will expire at the end of August 2023. We will not be renewing that lease.

We have signed the contract on a new long-term lease on the southern half of 2728 Lyndale Ave, the space that currently contains the store Art Materials, starting September 2023. This is the very same building HUGE attempted to purchase in 2019, until loan funding fell through. So we are very excited to be able to move forward on many of the plans we made at that time.

This move will bring the footage of the Theater up from roughly 4000 to roughly 6750 square feet, allowing us to expand in nearly every regard: additional classroom/rehearsal space, additional restrooms, a larger stage, more seats, and an expansive and welcoming lobby. We’ll be able to hold more classes, seat more patrons, and accommodate more community partnerships and outreach efforts. And it will help us raise the profile of HUGE and the improv community it serves.

We at HUGE are so excited to be moving into this next chapter of the Theater’s life, with all the opportunities it will bring. There will be more news and chances to help in the coming days. But for now, we just wanted to know!

With love,
The leadership of HUGE Improv Theater
