Improv 101

Get Ready To Have Fun!

This is where your fun-filled improv journey begins! For eight weeks, you will be guided through a series of simple, gut-busting, yet challenging improv games and exercises designed to show you how you can make yourself and other people laugh just by being you! 

This class will help you get over any stage fright you may have, and before you know it, you’ll be creating characters, funny moments, and hilarious (and sometimes serious) scenes on the spot!

Everyone is happier when they’re being creative! And Improv is the “gateway drug” to creativity. All you need is you, your imagination, and your willingness to have fun! And you’ll be having tons of fun as you see both yourself and your fellow classmates get better week after week. 

And you’ll also soon discover that what you learn in this class will help you at work, at home, and out in the real world!

– For ages 40 & Older
– This class is limited to 12 students
