Increased confidence, fun, and friendship are primary goals.
(Clifton) Cincinnati, OH – Alphas Comedy, the local women’s improv and sketch group, is launching a new educational initiative aiming to offer students a comfortable environment in which to thrive.
The inaugural term of “Alphas Comedy College” begins Monday, February 12. The first class Alphas is offering is “Ladies’ Level 1 Improv Class”, which runs for 8-weeks, concluding with a class show for students’ friends and family. This is the first of a series of four levels of improv comedy for female-identifying students.
According to Alphas Comedy Artistic Director Patricia Mullins, “The purpose of our new education initiative is to create a space where women feel safe to fail, to have new experiences, and to express the funny person that they are.”
The first courses are basic improv classes, but Alphas plans to offer a wide variety of opportunities, including stand-up, sketch comedy, acting, and more.
