Game with Mike OT

Real talk: you've no doubt heard the term "Game of the Scene", but what does it mean? How do you do it? What the hell is it? 

Maybe you watched a show where people played "game" and you loved it. Maybe you didn't. Maybe you have a friend who took a workshop on "game" and they told you "it's WAY too hard". Maybe it scares you. Maybe you're curious. 

Whatever you answer, this class is for you!

Mike OT leads a simple workshop that answers all your questions about Game and he does it in a nice, easy way. This class is about finding the fun in the scene and heightening Game without giving you a headache or making you want to quit improv. You might even love Game. 

Please note, this workshop is aimed at improvisers who are confident performing longform scenes and have at least six months of regular classes under their belt.
