Improv 101
Starts February 22nd
Sundays 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Improv is organized play for adults: more jokes, fewer dodgeballs, and endless opportunities to laugh and learn. No experience necessary! The Crow invites you to step into a world of spontaneous creativity, laughter, and fun. Rediscover the joy of play and spark your imagination as you learn the fundamentals of improvisation—building scenes, creating characters, and saying “yes, and…” to the unexpected. Along the way, you’ll dive into improv games that strengthen quick thinking, collaboration, and confidence, all while keeping the focus on joy and discovery and embracing each moment. Think of it like "recess for adults" but with more laughter and fewer dodgeballs.
We’ll focus on stage presence, quick thinking, active listening, collaboration, and embracing mistakes as opportunities and gifts. Confidence in communication grows naturally as you laugh your way through each class. This 6‑week course meets once a week for 3 hours, culminating in a live improv showcase on one of The Crow stages where you and your classmates create unforgettable moments right before the audience’s eyes.
