From live performances to classes for kids and adults, and from corporate team-building to our groundbreaking Improv for Life mental wellness programs, Stomping Ground is more than just a theater. We’re a welcoming space where people connect, grow, and discover the power of play.
Stomping Ground is a new kind of space for comedy and improv, dedicated to using comedy as a force for positive change in our communities.
As Dallas’ only nonprofit theater dedicated to comedy, we...
Produce live shows featuring improv, stand-up, sketch, and more.
Offer classes for adults and kids at every experience level
Provide team-building and corporate training for businesses
But what truly sets us apart is Improv for Life, our mental wellness and social-emotional learning program led by psychotherapist Andrea K. Baum. Through Improv for Life, we provide transformative classes for:
Caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s or dementia
Neurodiverse adults and children
People living with anxiety
And many more unique communities
Since 2018, Stomping Ground Comedy has awarded 169 scholarships through our Training Center to adults and kids from underrepresented and marginalized communities. These scholarships have opened doors to classes in improv, sketch, stand-up, and musical comedy—fostering inclusive comedy education and ensuring that the voices on our stages truly reflect the diversity of Dallas.
Join us at our neighboring business, Triumphs Espresso & Whiskey, as we celebrate the SG community and race toward our $20,000 Scholarship Fund goal.
We'll party on the patio with light appetizers on us and drinks will be available for purchase at the bar.
Stomping Ground educates, entertains, and empowers the community - connecting people through comedy.
This North Texas Giving Day, we’re raising $20,000 for scholarships to help remove financial barriers for people who want to experience Stomping Ground but may not otherwise be able to afford our programs.
Every dollar raised supports access to our therapeutic, personal growth, and performance-based improv programs—giving more people the opportunity to manage anxiety, build communication and social skills, find connection and community, step into their creativity, or discover their voice on stage for the first time.
Whether someone comes to Stomping Ground to grow, heal, connect, perform, or simply laugh, your support helps ensure cost doesn’t stand in the way.
Together, we can make the healing, joy, and community of improv accessible to everyone.
At Stomping Ground, our mission is to make comedy accessible and inclusive to diverse voices so that our students, performers, and audiences reflect the Dallas–Fort Worth community. We celebrate the full range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability, religion, national origin, and values. We strive to create a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to be their authentic self.
We believe that collaboration strengthens our art form and our community. By supporting and learning from each other, we create a more skilled, connected, and inclusive comedy scene where creativity thrives and everyone has a place on stage and in the audience.
