This is a fun and creative class filled with a combination of improv, games, and acting for the stage. Improv is not only fun but is extremely beneficial for developing more complex characters in scripts, as well as learning to create on the fly. Improv skills help the actor with listening, quick thinking, concentration skills and so much more. The class will perform a live improv show ON STAGE in the Semester Showcase.
