People ask us all the time what BETA is all about. What are its goals? How is it different from other places in town?

We could talk about how we're an incubator of local talent. We could comment on how BETA is perceived as the punk rock of comedy in Houston. We might humble brag about the professional accolades of our leaders or the success of our original shows. I don't know if these trains of thoughts answer the questions effectively or accurately even... especially that punk rock stuff.

The questions can all be answered in one swoop. BETA Theater is all about empowering people. At work, in their communities, and on the stage, our goal is simply to help you realize your goals.

Every individual who walks through BETA's door, comes for different reasons and goals. Some want to be a better actor or audition better. Some people want to be more creative and confident at work. Some people just want something fun to do and meet new friends.

And we believe improv is a powerful tool to empower all these people and all their unique goals. We encourage you to check out our classes and see for yourself. Improv truly changes people's lives.
