Advanced Study Performance: The Improvised Play (April 24th - June 18th)

$500.00 (Google for Groupon or coupon, sometimes there is one!)

Improvise: to make, invent, or arrange offhand.

Play: The stage representation of an action or story.

In long form improvisation we often have only a couple minutes to get to know and share our characters with an audience, leaving no time for subtlety or nuance. In plays they have tons of time, some might say too much time. In The Improvised Play class, first developed by Brandon Gardner at UCB, we’ll combine the two, seamlessly combining character development, plot, drama, and comedy. Whether you are a trained actor who wants to explore slower improvisation, or an experienced improviser who wants to develop your acting skills, or both! This is the advanced improv class you’ve been waiting for. Welcome back The Improvised Play!

Advanced Study Performance class shows will take place on the Mainstage.
