About
Why Give?
Howdy!
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.
Our Mission
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 142 scholarships through our Training Center to individuals 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.
Our 3rd Annual 48 Hour Laugh-A-Thon!
The 48 Hour Laugh-A-Thon is an exciting, nonstop comedy marathon showcasing talented Dallas improvisers that supports our core theater operations and fuels our mission to educate, entertain, and empower the community!

Equity Statement
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.
