KIDS + TEENS
Exercise your teen's creative energy in improvisation, storytelling and acting while learning invaluable life skills.
Experienced Instructors
Each instructor has a background in improv and theatre with experience on stage and in the classroom with adults, teens and kids.
Creative Lessons
We offer classes that teach everything from improv comedy to musical theatre to creative writing. This is the place to stretch your child's creative muscles.
Virtual + In-Person
Whether it's due to COVID or just busy schedules, sometimes physically going to a class is not in the cards. So, we also offer select virtual class options.
Improv isn't just for the class clowns and drama nerds.
If that's your child, they'll absolutely love it. However, 85% of our students fit a different description. They may be new to the area looking to find friends or they're looking for a creative outlet that's not sports or perhaps they were bullied and need to build back their self-confidence. After years of teaching in high schools, universities and homeschool co-ops, we've seen the power of improv and creativity transform students.
In our classes, your children learn the principles that make every scene in life successful like "Yes, And," "Make Each Other Look Good," "Give Good Gifts," and "Respond to the Last Thing." These principles make up the improv toolkit that increases creativity, thinking on your feet, being authentic and comfortable in your own skin. These aren't just principles for theatre. They're principles for life.
