IMPROV
(Adults)

What is Improv?

At its core, improvisational theater (improv) is live storytelling created entirely in the moment. There are no scripts, no memorized lines, no safety nets. 

Instead, actors step onto the stage with nothing but an open mind, a blank slate, and a suggestion from you—the audience. From a single word, a location, or an absurd premise, an entire world comes to life right before your eyes. Every line of dialogue, physical choice, and comedic twist is discovered by the performers simultaneously with the audience. 

Because it is completely unscripted, no two shows are ever the same. It is a truly unique theatrical experience.

Intermediate Improv: From Quick Wit to Compelling Stories

​

Course Overview

Ready to take your improv to the next level? This eight week course bridges the gap between fast-paced comedy games and sustained narrative scenes. You will begin by refining your short-form mechanics—sharpening your comedic timing and physical commitment. Then, you will transition those skills into mid-form improv, learning how to use rapid-fire instincts to sustain rich, 15-minute stories with deep character relationships and satisfying narrative arcs.

 

What You Will Learn

  • Short-Form Refinement: Sharpen your verbal agility, handle constraints, and master audience suggestions.

  • The Mid-Form Transition: Learn how to stretch a funny short-form premise into a grounded, multi-layered scene.

  • Relationship Depth: Move past superficial jokes to discover the history, status, and emotional ties between characters.

  • Narrative Pacing: Discover how to introduce an inciting incident, heighten stakes, and find an organic climax.

  • Ensemble Trust: Develop the group mind required to support your team through both rapid games and extended stories.
