Level 2 of the Coalition Theater's Improv training program. Create rich and successful two-person scenes, the foundation of longform improv.
About this Event

Emotional reactions are the bedrock of improv. In our second level, you will strengthen the skills you built in our Intro class and focus on creating sustainable scenes based on patterns of emotional behavior that inform Characters and Relationships.

Great if you want to dig deeper into improv or if you need to interact with other humans in your day-to-day life.


Dates:The class runs Saturdays from 3/28/2026 to 5/16/2026, starting 3/28/2026 and running for 8 weeks.
A showcase will be scheduled as an additional opportunity on an evening during the week of May 17.
Instructor: Sam Rizzo
Sam Rizzo jumped headfirst into improv at the Coalition Theater after seeing a 501 showcase in 2024 and has been voraciously consuming improv (and Diet Pepsi) ever since. You can see Sam put his improv skills to use on the indie team Slug & Gator and on the new house team! In his spare time, Sam likes to challenge himself with board games, piano, and mathematics.
Prerequisites: Improv 101, or equivalent classes at a comparable institution. Email [email protected] with questions.
Cost: $250 (Early Bird: $220)
