Workshop: Improv For Beginners

Curious about improv? Ready to shake up your routine, have tons of fun and spark creativity? 

This 2-hour workshop is a playful, no-pressure intro. You’ll jump into easy, interactive exercises and try out a few improv games with the support of our friendly facilitators. 

No experience needed—just a willingness to laugh, experiment, and connect with others. By the end, you’ll have a taste of improv’s magic, a few new friends, and maybe even the inspiration to join us for more.

*Workshops are for ages 18 years and up.
