Jump into the wonderful and wild world of Improv Comedy!!!
Learn the beginnings of Chicago-based, long form improv. Students will learn how to create scenes based off of audience suggestions. They will learn the fundamentals of 'Yes, And,' how to support scene partners' ideas and energy, and how to make strong character choices.
Absolutely no experience in acting or comedy is needed. The Push Comedy Theater strives to create a fun, safe, and supportive experience for all students.
The benefits of improv: Improv helps build confidence, develops creativity and mental flexibility, strengthens listening skills... and is just a lot of fun.

This is a six week class that meets every Tuesday from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM starting January 7th.
Cost: $235
