ABOUT US

Welcome to Spitfire Comedy House! Here’s a deeper look at who we are, what we stand for, and where we’re headed. Every decision we make is guided by our core values and goals, shaping both our present and future. Whether you’re working with us, stepping on stage, or supporting from the audience, this is what we represent.

VISION

Spitfire strives to make the world more joyful through education, community, and comedy.

MISSION

To build community, Spitfire offers an instructional and joyful environment where every person is welcome to collaborate and embrace self-awareness. We do this through innovative comedic experiences that we build together.

VALUES

COMMUNITY IS PARAMOUNT

Community is the core of everything we do at Spitfire. We’re not just a theater - we’re a family of students, performers, and patrons who come together to create, laugh, and grow. Beyond our walls, we work to be a force for good by giving back and collaborating with local organizations. We lift each other up through life’s challenges, celebrate our milestones, and remind ourselves that we’re stronger together. We show up for one another and foster a space where everyone can feel at home.

LAUNCH THE ROCKET

We believe in taking action, embracing the unknown, and making bold, active choices. Whether we’re stepping into our first improv class, performing on stage, or simply navigating life, we turn ideas into reality. It’s about moving past hesitation, leaning into playfulness, and discovering the joy and self-expression that come from being fully present in the moment. We embrace the seriousness of life, and we also celebrate the transformative power of play - it connects us to our humanity and allows us to create with courage and freedom.

STAY CURIOUS

Curiosity fuels everything we do. We believe in exploring the unknown, embracing failure as a step toward growth, and continually seeking new perspectives. Whether on stage or off, curiosity drives us to discover more about ourselves, others, and the world around us. It allows us to learn and grow as individuals and as a community. By staying open and humble, we create space for innovation, connection, and lifelong learning. Curiosity isn’t just a tool for improv - it’s a mindset that enriches every aspect of life.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSIVITY MATTER

We celebrate what makes each of us unique and embrace the richness that diversity brings to our community. This isn’t just something we say - it’s something we live through our actions, from the way we approach comedy to the organizations we support. We’re committed to fostering a safe, inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, respected, and valued. Differences in background, perspective, and experience make us stronger, and we ensure that every voice is heard. We actively listen, show compassion, and strive to understand one another, ensuring that no one stands alone.

WE GOT YOUR BACK

We say this to each other before every show, AND it’s also a promise of genuine support and care. From performers to audience members, students to newcomers, we want everyone to feel secure and uplifted in our community because, at the end of the day, we’re in this together.

We encourage you to take the time to review our Code of Conduct, as it outlines the standards and expectations that help us maintain a safe, supportive, and inclusive community. Whether you're a performer, student, or audience member, this guide reflects the values we uphold and the culture we strive to foster at Spitfire.
