Beginner Improv Classes at Bad Dog Theatre Company

You don’t have to be funny to take an improv class.

Most people who sign up have never done this before. They’re not performers. They’re not “the funny one.” They’re just looking for something different.

👀 What Actually Happens in an Improv Class?

You:

  • Play simple, guided games

Everyone is new. Everyone is figuring it out together.
