WHY PAN?
Thousands of students have studied at Pan through the years. Most are focused on bringing the lessons of improv into their lives off stage. Some use improv as a launching pad for exploring theater, standup or related arts.
Pan students have gone on to MFA programs, theater conservatories such as the Neighborhood Playhouse, launched their own theaters and groups, or joined the standup circuit.
