About this Event

Improv Workshop: Fun Characters, Better Scenes is for intermediate improvisers trying to get to that next level or newcomers who have trouble finding the joy in the craft. From his time on the Late 90's, Clayton has learned how to play characters that are both larger than life and grounded in reality. In this workshop, he will guide you on the path to playing scenes you love and stop worrying about doing it right. Join him for this scenework intensive that will get you up on your feet and push your improv to new heights!
