Deconstruction: Long-form Improv Comedy

Step into the world of advanced improv as participants from a recent workshop showcase their mastery of "The Deconstruction," a legendary long-form improv structure created by The Family under the direction of improv pioneer Del Close.

Taught by West Coast improv expert Brian James O'Connell, these performers dive deep into the artistry, technique, and thematic exploration that make The Deconstruction the foundation of modern improv. Whether you’re a seasoned improviser, a theater enthusiast, or simply curious about the craft, this performance promises to be an inspiring journey through character, structure, and the infinite possibilities of the stage.

Experience a unique blend of grounded scenes and thematic exploration as the players weave a tapestry of comedy, emotion, and storytelling in real time. It’s more than a performance—it’s an education in how improvisation elevates itself to an art form.
