Kids/Teens Improv & Stand-Up Comedy Class

Improv, Sketch and Stand-Up Comedy help students discover their best selves building self-confidence, creative writing, critical thinking and public speaking. We offer weekly classes Winter, Spring and Fall, plus Summer Camps. We also have teachers at schools, camps and community centers and even private homes for in school residencies, after school programming and more. Each session starts with Improvisation, playing games that are a ton of fun while teaching valuable life skills.

These are the same games we play with corporate groups to develop better leaders, team building, sales, service etc. We also include Sketch and Stand-Up comedy. Each session ends a performance showcase of original and improvised comedy skits. The classes and workshops integrate perfectly with cultural arts, language arts and character building/guidance.
