The Coalition Theater is thrilled to present its 7th Annual 2ND BEST FEST, running June 6-8, featuring improv, sketch, and stand-up comedy acts from all over the US, crammed into 3 magical nights at 2 different venues!
Workshop Description:
Playing a variety of colorful characters can be so fun and liberating! This workshop will help you use physicality and voice to create an array of characters. Whether you want to write those characters into sketches, expand your range for improv or sharpen your skills in acting, you can invigorate your imagination using experimentation and play.
