About this event

Our improv workshop series is taught professional improv comedians who also have decades of experience in both performance and education! We lead our classes in both short-form and long-form improv exercises to help you build skills such as confidence, active listening, strengthening your collaborative spirit, creativity, physicality, and comedy performance– all in a fun, supportive, and silly environment! After 9 weeks of classes, the series culminates in a student showcase right on the BABS stage! Drop-ins are also welcome for the comedy-curious.
