Overview
The Rivertowns Improv Fall Festival is a Hudson Valley improv festival in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, produced by Blind Tiger Improv. Its stated mission is to celebrate the art, the heart, and the humor of the Hudson Valley, bringing the local community together to play, learn, and grow through improv. The weekend pairs performances with workshops, hangouts, and after-parties, and welcomes both established ensembles and brand-new groups.
Blind Tiger Improv, the company behind the festival, launched in 2019 and provides classes and performance opportunities across the Hudson Valley and Westchester. The festival positions itself as an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly space open to teams and individual performers alike.
Workshops
The festival plans a lineup of instructors leading workshops that range from foundational principles to character work and specialized formats, giving participants the chance to sharpen skills across different disciplines.
Submissions
Submissions are open to both teams and individual performers, including instructors who want to lead a workshop. Applications run in tiers: early bird through July 7, 2026, standard from July 8 to August 15, and late from August 16 to August 22, 2026. Acceptances are sent in late August, with the final lineup announced and tickets going live September 10, 2026. Teams apply through the team submission form and individuals through the solo artist form.
