Improvisational theatre consists of games, exercises, and techniques to create spontaneous monologues and scenes. These free classes are open to everyone, no prior experience necessary. Have fun with others and make stuff up based on your background and imagination. Exercise your creative muscles! Doing improv is a very positive, non-judgmental experience and you will laugh and have lots of fun, too. And you'll be surprised at what you can do!
Not sure if you want to participate? You're welcome to enjoy the fun as part of the Improv audience.
Location is in Cow Hollow on Green St near Octavia and 2 blocks from a Union St MUNI stop. Address & meeting up instructions will be emailed after you register.
