About this Event
About the Class: This class focuses on the techniques used in short-form improv comedy games. Each class will concentrate on a specific type of short-form game and the skills needed to perform it successfully. The goal of this class is to establish a general understanding of different types of short-form improv games and how they differ from other styles you might see on stage!
