Students learn many of the fundamentals of acting technique. The focus is on building characters, voice projection and articulation, understanding stage directions and using props. Carefully planned lessons include relaxation exercises, warm-up improvisations, theater games, language development and scripted monologues uniquely chosen for each student. The workshop further emphasizes cooperative learning, critical thinking and interdependence among the actors. We perform two showcases a year!!

Adult Comedy Improv Class Mission:
Not only will the truth set you free, but the truth is funny! Come be a part of the real "truth" in comedy! Improv is the most honest form of acting, because it teaches the actor to listen. True Improv is getting on-stage and performing without any preparation or planning - in other words, flying by the seat of your pants just like real-life. Learn with a working group of actors how to truly hone your craft and have the time of your life! Exercises include theater games, character development and the Harold, which is a favorite of Second City and Improv Olympics.
