In this 90-minute interactive workshop, you'll use the core principles of improvisational theatre—"Yes, And," active listening, and playful adaptation—to transform parenting challenges into moments of connection. Learn to:
Reduce friction by accepting your child's reality before navigating it.
Decode big emotions by listening beyond the words.
Build confidence & cooperation by becoming your child's greatest scene partner.
This isn't more advice; it's about a new mindset. Leave with practical tools to create a more playful, present, and resilient family dynamic.
No performance experience required—just a willingness to play. For parents of children of all ages.

Sarah Brasseaux jumped into improv in 2024 just hoping to get more comfortable speaking in front of people. She never imagined she’d be part of an actual troupe, but now performs with the Mawgawita Babies and is hooked on the fun of being onstage. Outside of improv, she co-runs a software development company, volunteers in her community, and stays busy with her family. Improv has brought her confidence, new skills, and some amazing friends and she’s excited to share that joy with others.
