Ready to level up? This six-week series builds on the fundamentals from our Basics class and expands into the world of long form improv. We’ll show you how to connect scenes into full, dynamic sets with structure, momentum, and fun. The final class includes a small showcase for friends and family. 

We’ll explore tools like “game of the scene,” along with edits, walk-ons, and tag-outs that support strong ensemble play. Scenes will branch out, call back, and build to satisfying payoffs while giving you space to take risks and get big laughs.
