About this Event

Instructor: Alex Shapiro

Hailing from Madison Wisconsin, Alex performed with multiple improv companies including, The Premise, Atlas Improv, ComedySportz (Madison and New York) and Desperate Measures, which he co-founded at Wesleyan University in 1994.
A MopCo regular for the past two years, Alex has been involved with improv since taking classes when he was 13. Alex has years of experience teaching improv classes.


Tuition: Eight classes and showcase performance $150. a limited number of partial scholarships are available; inquire by emailing [email protected] with the heading "Youth Scholarship."
