comedy. Many children love to play improv games but struggle with making them
engaging, challenging for their acting partners, or story-based. This class will focus on
specific skills of improvisation that cannot be taught in workshops or during rehearsals
because they take time to hone and develop. If your child enjoys improvisation, or would
like to learn more about it, this class will give them the knowledge and skills to further their abilities!
