An eight week class where you'll dive deep into characters and character choices! Each session is packed with activities where you'll explore a variety of physical choices, vocal choices, emotions, and statuses to arrive at full and unique characters for your improv comedy scenes! 

I highly recommend the Character Class, especially if Casey and Holly are teaching it in the future! Both Casey and Holly have such rich backgrounds in character portrayal, and they are a wealth of knowledge. They are skilled at helping students delve into a character with confidence. - Jodi C

I just finished Casey and Holly's character class last night, and wanted to tell you how much it meant to me. They've got great chemistry, and their tag-team approach kept the class excited and engaged. The class structure was well paced and thoughtful, and their content was packed with a wealth of clear, actionable gems--so many useful nuggets to use in future practices and performances! Casey and Holly did a great job of sharing just enough info in each class to blow my mind open, but not so much that I felt overwhelmed. I'd been feeling that I was on a bit of plateau with my improv, and this class gave me tools and tricks I'm eager to use to take my game to the next level. - Peter T

Just wanted to drop you a note to share how WONDERFUL Casey's and Holly's 4-week character class was.  I'd love to see and would eagerly take a longer version of this class and/or classes with one or both of them connected to dialects, characters, acting for improvisers, etc. - Rachel L
