About this Event
In this 7 week course, you'll learn how to perform a fully improvised musical comedy, making up scenes and songs on the spot with live accompaniment. You'll learn the building blocks of an improvised song, and how to use them to create songs that sound like they were written. You’ll learn to sing with others on stage to produce banging group numbers, solos, and duets. We'll cover melody, lyrics, rhyming, when to start (and stop!) singing, and together explore the unique opportunities for comedy presented by musical improv.
Show dates (subject to change):
Saturday, June 6th
Saturday, June 27th
PREREQUISITE: Improv 101 or instructor approval. Singing experience is helpful but not at all required (if you can sing happy birthday without making people wince, you’ll be fine, we promise).
Please read our and before signing up for a class or workshop.
INSTRUCTOR: Matthew Schmitz (Broken Records)
ACCOMPANIST: Steven DeConto
