IMPROV 201: THE SHOW
Take your improv beyond games and short scenes — create entire stories, unforgettable characters, and high-energy performances. You’ve built the basics in Improv 101. Now it’s time to think bigger.
In the Long Form Training Troupe, you’ll master advanced formats like The One Act and The Montage, develop rich worlds with your cast mates, and (if you choose) perform in a live showcase.
Whether your goal is stage performance or sharper real-world communication skills, this program gives you the tools and confidence to play at a higher level.
