Beginner Improv Workshop
December 8, 2024 at 12:30 PM with Dan Reitz
Improv comedy is fun, like really fun, and the best way to get into it is by taking a class! Tap into your creativity while connecting to a community of clever and fun people!
In this 90-minute beginners class you'll learn some improv basics, play improv games, and get to see what it's like to make up fun characters and situations with a group of like-minded people.
If you enjoy the class and want more, you can put the $10 cost of this class towards the cost of our 8-week Level One class! But this class stands alone as a beginner improv workshop, and you won't be pressured to sign up for a full course.
