Teen Classes starting February 3rd

Curious about improv but not sure if it’s for you?

This Improv Teen Info Session is a fun, low-pressure way for teens ages 13–17 to learn what improv is really about — confidence, teamwork, and communication, not performing or being funny.

Teens will try a few simple activities, meet the instructors, and learn about optional future pathways like leadership, performance, or volunteer opportunities.

No experience required. No pressure. Just come see if it’s a fit.
Info Session - Tuesday, January 27

  • "As someone who is a highly anxious person, Brandon was able to make me feel more comfortable by establishing a safe space. His demeanor was also very friendly and supportive which made me feel more open to stepping outside my comfort zone. He is also hilarious and fun to be around! He did a great job at connecting improv to a business setting which I appreciated."
