  • Working in groups and learning how to “think on your feet” and perform without self-judgment
  • New game formats are introduced for those with previous improv experience

Maybe you like putting the picture together as a whole?  Perhaps it is becoming a character and discovering their world?  Try on each hat- playwright, director, and actor- and see which one is the best fit for you. You won’t know until you try!  If your child is “not an actor,” we can accommodate him/her in this class, and they can focus on the non-performance elements of the production while still gaining social and collaborative skills.
