TEEN IMPROV
This eight-week course will serve as an introduction to the fun and challenging art form of improvisational theater for the young "improvisers".

Each week students will be introduced to new activities and adventures into the quirky world of humor and fantasy that is just under the surface of mundane reality through the unique perspective of the improv.  Age 12 to 16.
