Say Yes, AND to FUN.

Ever thought about trying improv but didn’t know where to start? You’re not alone. Most people think improv is about being fast, funny, or fearless, but it’s not. Improv is about listening, supporting your scene partner, and saying yes to ideas, even when you’re not sure where they’ll go.

What Actually Happens in an Improv Class?

Fair question. You’re not thrown on stage. You’re not expected to be funny.

You:

  • Play simple, guided games

  • Work in small groups

  • Learn by doing (not performing)

Everyone is new. Everyone is figuring it out together.
