Adult Advanced Improv Class Spring Session at Playhouse on Park: Registration Now Open!

Registration for Adult Advanced Improvisation at Playhouse on Park is now open. The session begins April 24 and meets every Monday from 7-10pm through June 5.

This class will hone the skills of the more experienced improviser and will explore narrative, commitment, and intensive listening. The instructor will help students get to the next level by helping them identify and use their strengths as well as coaching them in areas that need improvement. Students will learn to sustain more complex narrative and formats using all of the fundamental skills of improv. Focus will be on long-form improv, including Harold. Students enrolled in this course will have the opportunity to perform in a professional improvisation show - Improvaganza - Playhouse on Park's mini-improv festival - during the last week of class!
