"Another summer, another fantastic opportunity to learn improv in Bangor!" said Alekzander Sayers, the interim Director of Education at Penobscot Theatre Company. "Working with Dennis Price is always a treat, and we are excited to have him back to share his wealth of improv experience with us. It's always great to be able to offer strong programming during the summer months when many have free time to participate, and to bring Dennis in to teach makes the occasion even more unique. If you've ever felt the urge to get onstage and perform, this intensive is just what you've been waiting for. Take the leap!"
