About this Event

Wednesdays, 7-9 PM, March 4th - April 15th


The fundamentals of improv are deceptively simple. You can learn them in a few hours. (But we warn you, it can take a lifetime to master them.) Improv is a practice that you can engage in on stage and off.

Support your partner. Listen. Blurt! Weave a fresh, engaging story out of thin air. Is improv comedy? Sometimes, sure. But more importantly, it’s connection.

For actors, writers, performers, and folks who have never performed. This class consists of a combination of games and scene-work, with debriefs that enhance your personal experience.

Each Fundamentals class wraps up with a fun and supportive 20-25 minute Showcase performance, held just before a main Mopco show. The showcase is a fantastic way to put your new improv skills into action in front of a welcoming audience. And who’s in that audience? Mopco members are usually there, but the rest is up to you! Invite your family, your friends—even your accountant! The showcase is free, and as a bonus, you get to attend the 8 PM Mopco show for free. Plus, your guests can enjoy the 8 PM show at half price. Now that’s a deal worth celebrating!.
Prerequisite: Improv 101 or equivalent (talk to us if you aren’t sure.)
