Waiting on the backline for the perfect idea? Terrified your scene'll never get swept? Or, want to do tons of scenes with one great partner?About this Event
Do you tend to hang out on the back line until you feel like you have the perfect idea? Do you cower in terror that your scenes will never get swept? Or, do you think a fellow improviser is so funny that you wonder what it would be like to only do scene after scene with her?
If any of these apply to you, sign up for 2-prov-- a performance class on the art of performing with only two people onstage. You & your partner will play 100% of the characters, make 100% of the choices, and do 100% of the editing. Challenging, fun, and freeing, 2-prov is just the best.
Taught by Julia Pistell of famed two-prov teams "Julia and Jeffrey," "Performance Review," and "Wow. Sure! The Twosical!."
There are two ways to sign up: grab a partner and sign up together, OR sign up solo and we'll match you with a great partner for the course! All you need is instructor approval.
Class will end with a big show at Sea Tea Comedy Theater! Get brave and sign up!
