Improv 401: Harold
This course continues the Harold work started in 301. Students will delve more deeply into 'The Harold' structure. They will learn a series of 'openers' and 'group games' that will complete the Harold format.
Openers are used to derive inspiration from the audience's suggestion while group games are multi-person scenes that break up the traditional 2 person scenes.
This is a 6 week course.
Cost: $235
This class will be held from 6:30-9:00pm on Monday nights starting Starting June 1st.
Prerequisites: Improv 301

Meet the Instructor:
Sean Devereux is an Emmy Award-winning writer, performer, and producer. He is a founding member of the Pushers Sketch and Improv Comedy Troupe as well as the co-founder and co-owner of the Push Comedy Theater. Sean studied improv at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (NYC) and with members of the Second City, Improv Olympic, and Annoyance Theaters. Devereux also trained with Kevin McDonald of the famed Kids in the Hall comedy group.
Sean is a co-writer of Cuff Me: The 50 Shades of Gray Musical Parody which played Off-Broadway in New York City for nearly 3 years. He is also a producer on the upcoming film, How to Ruin the Holidays starring Colin Mochrie, Amber Nash, and Aisha Tyler.
Sean teaches improv and sketch comedy at the Push Comedy Theater. At the Push he co-created the hit shows, Pushing Dragons: An Improvised Dungeons & Dragons Adventure, The 666 Project: A Horror Anthology, Tales from the Campfire: The Improvised Ghost Story, and Panties in a Twist (the largest all-female sketch comedy show in the country). Sean loves comic books, WWE, Doctor Who, and Dungeons and Dragons. He hopes to pass his nerdom on to his 10-year-old son… much to his wife’s chagrin.
