About the Class: Welcome to Lancaster Improv Players' 201 class! This 8-week long course focuses on the more advanced skills of long-form Improv. Students will learn skills which include game of a scene, second beats, heightening, and advanced character work. This class focuses on teaching a ton of scene work skills and will help improvisers think beyond the scene they are in. The class ends with a graduation show where the students can show their friends and family the skills learned. This class does require Improv 101 as a prerequisite or director approval. Sign ups end Friday 9/5 at noon!
