MONDAYS 6:30PM – 9:30PM

This eight week class addresses one of the most common hurdles for improv students: how do I find and play the game of the scene? The concert of “game” can feel intangible, but by focusing on identifying (“naming”) games and patterns within your scenework, this class will give you the tools you need to kick up any short form game or long form set you perform. You’ll leave this class with tried-and-true formulas to guarantee laughs and push your improv comedy to the next level.
