About this event

Intro to Improv 4-Week Class


"Improv has given me the superpower of spontaneous brilliance."

One of our community members recently shared this with us. Over a decade of teaching improv to regular people like you has shown us the life-changing impact that improv can have.

"I've never felt so welcomed and accepted."
"I can just be myself."
"It's helped me be a better speaker."
"It's helped me with my anxiety."
"It's helped me be more confident."
"It's my escape from the daily grind."
"The incredible community and people keep me coming back."

These are real reactions we've heard from our students.

Improv can seem daunting. There's a misconception that it requires you to be funny, clever, or quick-witted. We've proven this is completely not true. We've made improv accessible to hundreds. We've done this through a 100% safe, inclusive, welcoming, zero-stress, no-pressure learning and playing environment. Along the way, we've built an amazing community of fun, funny, and loving people across Northern Virginia and Maryland.

Frequently asked questions

What can I expect in this class?

Students will be led through a series of creative exercises, teaching them the building blocks for creating improv scenes. Students leave with actual performance experience in a relaxed and and supportive environment, while discovering a newfound sense of freedom, play, and confidence!

I'm not a quick-thinker or very funny. Can I still do improv?

Absolutely! Many people think they need to be funny, clever, or quick-witted to learn improv. That's simply not true! We've taught hundreds of people with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll be able to do a basic improv scene.

I'm curious and interested, but feel nervous

We understand. Our teaching method is unique in its ability to ensure everyone feels safe, relaxed, comfortable, and encouraged. We promise a zero-stress no pressure 100% welcoming environment.

I've taken an improv class before and had a terrible experience.

Ah, that's unfortunate to hear. We think improv should be fun and taught in a supportive and uplifting way. We've honed our method over a decade and the proof is in the strength of the community we've built and the testimonials you can read in the class description above. We hope you'll join us!

Is the workshop suitable for kids?

Our classes are for ages 18 and up. Improv can veer into adult language and subject matter and we want students to feel comfortable doing so. Having a child present makes that tougher. We may try some teen classes or workshops down the road, but for now we’re focusing mainly on adult classes.

Do you support refunds?

No refunds. All sales final.

What are your health safety rules?

We are mask optional. So if you prefer to wear a mask, that’s totally fine. We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable, so please do whatever is best for you. We do ask that if you aren’t feeling well please stay home to minimize risk to others.

I have additional questions. Who do I contact?
