New Adult Improv Intensive Offered At Taproot's Acting Studio 7/5-26

Taproot Theatre's Acting Studio introduces the brand-new Adult Improv Intensive this summer, taught by esteemed actor and director Marianne Savell. In this four-week intensive, students will learn the building blocks and fundamentals of this challenging and creative theatrical play.

Savell has years of experience directing and acting on stages along the West Coast and Chicago, teaching and coaching, and has served on the staff and boards of a number of theatre companies, including Hollywood's Actors Co-op and South Coast Repertory Conservatory in Costa Mesa.
