We’re a community of runners, hikers, bikers and ballplayers. We’re an outdoor playground, designed by Mother Nature, with class III and IV rapids running right through our downtown. A 52-mile bike trail runs along the James. The Richmond Marathon and Ukrop’s 10k are huge celebrations, and the whole region comes out to cheer on our local teams. In fact, we’re so sports-minded that the Washington Redskins have their training camp right in the center of the city. Add to that awesome hotels, beautiful venues, attractions, art, craft beer, more than 900 restaurants and a convenient location, and you’ve got a top choice for your next sports event. Welcome to RVA!

From indoor to outdoor facilities, the Richmond region has the fields, pitches, diamonds, venues and the dedicated staff to ensure your event is a huge success.

Featuring: Teams from a Hat!  
  
The Saturday Matinee is a monthly improv comedy show featuring your favorite local performers and comedy at a reasonable hour. Come catch a show before dinner and be home in your favorite PJs by bedtime!  
  
Each Matinee features long form improv comedy from two ensembles: one preexisting Richmond improv team and one Team from a Hat, made up of a selection of improvisers chosen at random at the previous month’s show.  
  
What is long form improv, you ask? Good question! It is theater that is entirely made up on the spot. To your eyes, it will feel like a short play or sketch show. You may even wonder, at times, if the performers are using ideas they came up with beforehand and practiced together. But trust us, none of it is pre-planned. Come witness the magic.  
  
Show Time: 5:30 p.m. Entry Fee: Pay What You Wish  
  
October Team from a Hat Cast: Fig, Stephen Haselhorst, Wyatt Johnson, Adam Royster, Madeline Smith, Rogue Syrena, Shelby Ware, Alexandra Williams October Team from a Hat Coach: Nate Shepherd  
  
October Featured Team: Ryan Dondero & Friends!  
  
Team from a Hat – Rules for Entry · Are you an improviser who would like to be on next month’s Team from a Hat? Signing up is easy! All you have to do is come to the Saturday Matinee and throw your name in the Hat. At the end of the show, we will draw eight names to join forces and become next month’s Team from a Hat. · To sign up for a Team from a Hat, you must have completed the basic improv curriculum at any comedy theater. For example, if you trained at Coalition, you must have completed the classes through level 401. No other experience is required. · Each Team from a Hat is provided a dedicated coach for the month and will have three rehearsals together leading up to that month’s show. Rehearsals will be on Mondays at 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. · Members of the current month’s Team from a Hat must wait one month (i.e., to the next show) to put their name back in the Hat. · November Info: The next show will be November 14. The coach will be Josh Wright. Team from a Hat rehearsals will be October 26, November 2, and November 9.
