WORKSHOP | Fix It or Make It Worse | Saturday May 18 | #DWCF24

$30 - Space UNLimited (the more the merrier!!)

It is time to finally get answers to those questions and problems with improvisation that you have thought about forever and just can't crack the code. Let's break improv wide open, take rules out of the picture, and celebrate comedy again.

If you're in your head, this'll rip it out. Perfect for people who have studied too much and learned too little.
