Class Description:  

This class provides a review of the basics of Improvisational Theater and focuses on improv scene work. The goal of this class is to provide those interested in auditioning for the Pan Theater training troupes an opportunity to sharpen and refresh their improv skillls.  A basic improv class (such as Improv Basics I) is suggested as a background for the class.
