Try Improv: Workshop for Beginners

Canton Comedy Boom and Imposters Theater (Cleveland) are joining forces to bring more improv classes to Canton! Join us in creating a fun and educational space for improv in Canton! Your ticket covers the improv workshop and admission to our Boom Boom Improv Show at 8pm!

This is a welcoming, fun workshop for absolute beginners run by veteran performer, Marissa Leonino Lange.

If you're looking for…
- a night out to meet other fun, creative people in a supportive environment
- a unique activity for a date/friend night
- a judgement-free place to step out of your comfort zone
…this workshop is for you! 

You’ll play improv games and do some scenes with guidance and support from the instructor. No experience necessary.

Improv is a highly creative and spontaneous art form that requires thinking on your feet and playing well with others. Improv comedy is the art of the possible–part comedy, part theater, wholly absurd fun!

This class is 18+ unless otherwise approved by the instructor. Any questions can be emailed to [email protected]
