May 13- July 15 (8 Classes)

Whether you’re new to improv or looking to sharpen your skills, this class series welcomes you where you are. Through long-form improv games and exercises, students develop active listening and agreement, build trust with scene partners, play authentically and intelligently within reality, and grow confidence on stage. The course includes a class performance, where students can invite friends and family to watch their progress, and will be part of an evening of long-form improv featuring professional improv groups from NYC, Westchester & Hudson Valley.
