Life IS improv, and you have been doing it since you were born! In this adult improv class, you’ll have fun learning and performing improv games while gaining skills to help with the “improv” opportunities that life throws at you. The class focuses on communication, story, collaboration, making big choices and how they lead to hilarity onstage. Tuesdays 9/24/24 – 10/22/24. The final class session will include a performance and you’re welcome to invite friends and family. No improv, acting or stage experience necessary. Taught by Marisa Clark
