What is Improv Comedy?
The invention of comic sketches on the spot, based on suggestions from the audience.
Sometimes the scenes involve pre-set characters or structures, but the actual
content of each scene develops spontaneously onstage, as the actors cooperate to create
it.Who does It?
Anyone who likes to play with other people can learn to create and perform
improvisational comedy. We all have enormous amounts of comic and creative talent.
An Improv Comedy class teaches you how to free up that talent and how to focus it
into effective onstage presentation of your ideas.

| Practice in "thinking on your feet", and expressing your ideas effectively and
confidently |

| Mental flexibility |
| Lots of laughs |
| A chance to develop creative thinking skills |
| Confidence in your ability to handle whatever input comes your way |
