Mondays 6:30PM – 9:30PM

Whether you're a beginner looking to explore improv comedy for the first time, an adventurer looking for new skills to acquire, or someone just looking to get out of their own head, this class is for you! Learning new skills through improvisational comedy games & exercises, you’ll focus on agreement and extension (“Yes, And”), group mind, give and take, and basic environment and object work in a supportive, playful environment. IMPROV 101 culminated with a class show performance for friends and family!
