THE MOP & BUCKET IMPROV THEATRE CO.  Who are we? 
The Mop & Bucket Co. (MopCo) is the Capital District's premiere
improvisational theatre company.  The company has been in existence in its
present form since 2005.  MopCo is a resident company at Proctors Theatre in
Schenectady, NY.  The company performs, teaches, and trains at venues around
the region, as well as nationally and internationally. 


MISSION STATEMENT
Live performance fills a central, universal need of humankind. This need
cannot be met by passive reception of electronic or virtual paths, but must
be experienced with all five senses.  MopCo believes that the best theatre
comes out of an active collaboration between performer and audience.  We
constantly expand, refine, and redefine our own concept of what
improvisation in performance is.  This is because the company acts on the
assumption that that which is unchanging is probably dead, and will
therefore begin to stink soon, if it doesn't already. 
  
The company uses improvisation as a direct form of entertainment in
performance; as a developmental tool that helps individuals in their own
personal development, and as an interactive training tool for businesses and
nonprofits.
