Wanna learn to improvise, shake off your public speaking jitters, or just have some collaborative fun with a bunch of supportive adults on a Thursday afternoon?! Then join seasoned improvers, Thomas Kelly, Will Sonheim, and Alex Prichodko for a two-hour intensive workshop in which you'll explore the power of emotion, discover the heightened stakes of even the most mundane human interaction, and follow the fun that is organically arising between you and scene partner without forcing it!
We'll be teaching the Chicago style of improvisation with the goal of creating show-ready performers who are comfortable with both scenic and show flow.
