Welcome to the homepage of the Purple Crayon, Yale's only long-form improv comedy troupe. We are a group of Yale students who perform several shows each semester on campus, as well spend our Fall and Spring breaks on tour to various cities around the country. Learn more about us here.

What's New:

The second semester is just about wrapping up, but we've still got one more show! Midnight Madness is on Wednesday this week, and we hope you'll all join us to wish our one graduation senior the best as he makes his final stage appearance in Purple.

The Next Show

MIDNIGHT MADNESS

Wednesday Night, April 30, Midnight, Stiles Little Theater

Midnight Madness is the Purple Crayon's awesome reading week show, where 12 suggestions lead to 12 scenes that shatter the thin divide between reality ridiculous. It is also our senior show: Benji Hurlburt (JE '08) will soon be graduating and serving our country in the United States Air-Force. Come see him in his final show as a Purple Crayon.
Admission: 12 cents
