Remember when we used to take classes, rehearse and perform improv all the time? In a room of people? Well, the pandemic obviously put all of that on hold and it’s safe to say - we all feel a little bit rusty. This workshop will focus on long-form scenework exercises with the goal of gaining back our performer confidence. Join a group of improvisers for a Dust the Rust off session as we get back on our feet and remember what it’s like to play again!
COVID INFO: This workshop will take place indoors and without masks, and is for fully vaccinated individuals only.
