Adult Improv Comedy

TAUGHT BY GUEST INSTRUCTOR MARIANGELA SAAVEDRA

Improvisation (Improv) is a centuries-old art form that has been used mainly in the performing arts, specifically in comedy. Join us for this fun and entertaining 4-week class where we will learn about and practice Short Form Improv (as seen on the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway?). Through the interactive exercises and activities taught in this class, you will be able to experience learning on an intellectual, physical and emotional level while having a great time! Whether you are looking for a new creative outlet, to become more confident on stage, or to improve your public speaking skills, this class is for you! There will be a showcase for family and friends on the last session of this class where you will be able to show off your new comedy skills!

Tuition: $210 for 6-week session

Dates/Time: Mondays, October 2-November 6, 6-7:30pm
