Step into a space where laughter, connection, and creativity take center stage. This improv class is open to all—whether you’re a seasoned performer or someone who’s never set foot on stage. Through engaging games, collaborative exercises, and scene work, you’ll learn the fundamentals of improvisation in a relaxed, judgment-free environment designed to spark joy and build confidence.
Each week, we’ll dive into core improv principles like active listening, saying “yes, and,” building characters, and creating stories together. You’ll strengthen your communication skills, stretch your imagination, and discover new ways to express yourself—all while sharing plenty of laughs with a supportive group of fellow adventurers.
No prior experience is necessary. Just bring your curiosity, a willingness to connect, and an openness to play. Whether you’re looking to boost your creativity, meet new people, or simply unwind and have fun, this class offers a refreshing break from routine and a chance to surprise yourself.
