Have fun while performing without a script in a safe, “no fail” environment. This introduction to basic improv rules, theory and games not only strengthens acting skills, it improves public speaking, non-verbal communication and self-confidence.

This class develops students’ improvisation skills towards actual performance. Students will deepen their knowledge of improv games and structures. It will culminate in an improv performance for family, friends and the public on the Rosenthal Plaza stage at the Playhouse. Enrollment in this class is limited to students with prior experience with permission of the instructor. Our hope is to see this class grow into an actual improv troupe, with guest teachers and improv sessions
