Step into the world of improv—whether it’s your very first time or you’re a seasoned performer eager to refresh your skills. This eight-week, high-energy course builds confidence onstage and off through playful exploration and practical technique.

You’ll learn to create instant, memorable characters, communicate seamlessly with scene partners and audiences, and bring improvised stories to life. Each session blends supportive instruction with plenty of time to experiment, laugh, and grow.

The course wraps up with a student showcase, giving you the chance to shine and celebrate everything you’ve learned.
