About Philly Improv Theater
Philly Improv Theater (PHIT) brings live comedy and improv to multiple performance spaces in Philadelphia. While PHIT maintains its training center at the Hamilton Family Arts Center (62 North 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106), most performances are hosted in partner venues such as the Bob & Selma Horan Studio Theatre at the Arden Theatre complex and the Haas and Arcadia spaces. This page provides a comprehensive guide to PHIT venues in Old City and Center City, including seating configurations, parking options, transit access, and nearby hotel and restaurant recommendations to help you secure your seats with ease.
Whether you’re planning a night of improv, a PHIT-hosted event, or a festival collaboration, we’ve got you covered with practical details and trusted partner recommendations. For the best experience, check the venue’s seating map for the exact configuration of the show you’re attending, and consider nearby hotels and dining that offer affiliate deals where available.
