In Improv 201: Playing the Scene, you'll continue your comedy education by learning more tools for effective scene work and character development. With guided support, you'll further develop your ability to identify and heighten the comedic game of the scene. Using fun team-building exercises, you will become more comfortable with the ins-and-outs of improvised scene work and how to use your new skills to your advantage on stage.

The course will be held at Fallout Theater, located at 616 Lavaca St in downtown Austin, and will consist of 8 weekly classes on Mondays from 6:30pm-8:30pm and a class show for your friends and family. Students who complete Improv 201 are eligible to enroll in Improv 301.
