About this event

Dates: 5/13, 5/20, 5/27, 6/3, 6/10, 6/17, 6/24, 7/1
Tuesdays 7-10 PM
8 Weeks + Class Showcase
Prerequisite- Improv 201

IMPROV 301 focuses on the necessary tools to recognize, isolate, and create patterns in improvisation. Building on IMPROV 101 and 201, students will learn to improvise collaborative shows within a long form structure, based on a single suggestion. Students will improve their ability to listen, react in the moment, support courageously, and collaborate with others. These skills transcend improvisation and are invaluable in all aspects of life. IMPROV 301 creates a space for practicing these skills.

Courses are taught by veteran instructors who are long-time performers. Classes meet at The Westside or at one of our classroom spaces a block away.

Class sizes are limited. Enrollment is dependent upon availability. For enrolled students a confirmation welcome email will be sent 48 before the start of the first class. There are no refunds or transfers on tuition.

Frequently asked questions

Where is class located?

Because we are a working comedy theater with shows every night, most of our classes are not held on our stage. Our classes are located at our Creative Studios at Central Tower, just a short walk away. Class shows will take place at our theater.

Where should I park?

The easiest parking is at Parking Garage #5 (entrance on 4th street between Santa Monica & Broadway). Free for 90 min, then $2 for the next 30 min—just $2 for 2 hours! After that, it's $1.50 per half-hour. There is also some surrounding street parking that is free after 6PM on 5th street and east.

When is the class showcase?

Excluding holiday weekends, class showcase typically will fall on the weekend following your last class. You exact showcase date and time will be sent our your 2nd week of class.

Can I audit a class?

Sorry, we don’t allow outside visitors in class. Class is a space for people to push their boundaries, experiment, and sometimes fail. Having outside observers in class works against the safe creative atmosphere that we have worked hard to cultivate.
