Civic Theatre Classes

Comedy Improvisational Technique

& Performance Workshops

How do they do it?  How can they think of all that stuff so fast?  How are they so confident?  I wonder if I could do that?!?!?!  What are all those fun games they play, like:  Shakespeare, Five Things, Dr. Know It All, Dime Store Novel, Oxygen Deprivation, Radio, Day In The Life, Object Freeze, What Are You Doing, Limerick, Revolving Door, Chain Murder Death, Game-o-Matic, Side Line Debate, and Playwright.  

The Comedy Improv Workshops provide you the opportunity to find the skills, techniques, courage, and magic that is Comedy Improv!  In these workshops, you will learn the basic rules of improvisation as a theatre technique.  Participants will also learn Improv as a theatre form.  This workshop is for people who have never done Improv before and would love to try or for people who have done improv before and want to brush up on their skills! 

After workshopping, participants will give a performance to display their talents and skills.  The show is a mandatory part of the class and will take place on Saturday, June 2nd at 8:00 p.m.  This performance will be done in a competitive format where teams of Improv players compete for points decided by audience members based on which team performs the best structures, funniest material, most original ideas, and best character and environment work.
