Small Town News
Welcome to Small Town News, located at the intersection of hardcore journalism and jelly-filled comedy. Each episode we read articles from small town newspapers from around the United States and use them to inspire improv stories. We've got fireworks filled with rattlesnakes. We've got a parade of painfully bad accents. We've got no idea what states border Michigan. But no matter where the story ends, it's all 100% true. Promise. Check our sources. Seriously.

Episode 7
Welcome to Ada, Oklahoma, a "Small Town with Big Opportunity!" Ada is the county seat of Pontotoc County and is the capital of the Chickasaw Nation. Ada was incorporated in 1901 and grew quickly with the arrival of the railroad. Ada is home to the McSwain Theatre. Originally built in 1920 to show silent films and host Vaudeville shows, the theatre was restored in 2009. Blake Shelton, an Ada native, was a regular performer there before moving to Nashville. We hope you enjoy our visit to Ada!
