GET REAL!

Before you can be funny you have to be real. In this intensive six-week class you'll learn the basic principals of The Art of Slow Comedy, which make long-form improvisation as easy as having a conversation!

• Get tools to help you build solid improv scenes 
• Take the pressure off of being "funny "
• Have an emotional life on stage 
• React honestly to your partner 
• Tap into your life experiences 
• Learn scenic improv

The best way to learn is by doing, and the right time to leap is always NOW!
