This pay what you want, two hour workshop will teach you the building blocks of improv in a fun and supportive environment. You will learn a new skill, have fun, meet new people, and you will see that improv is not just for performers, but is for everyone. 

The skills learned in our classes go beyond the stage and can benefit you in your everyday life and work! Fortune 500 companies are now routinely bringing in improv workshops to help build up their team members and their leaders. Improve communication, build self-confidence, think more positively, embrace collaboration, meet new people, and have more fun! These are just a few of the concepts we will touch on in this workshop through a series of fun exercises and games. Whether you have no performance aspirations or you are taking the first step on the journey to being a performer - this is for you!
