The Farms: Improve Your Improv

Skill Level: All Levels

Learn the skills of improv, including scene creation and team dynamics at Improve Your Improv from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Feb. 20 through April 9.

Kyle Tasch returns to The Farms to teach this popular course, which will be jam-packed with improvisational fun that will use both short-form games and long-form scenes in its sessions.

This will not be a place to sit down, hear lectures, and take notes, as students will be performing as much as possible! It will be a get-up-and-perform kind of class. The class will emphasize the mechanics needed to act out an entertaining and meaningful scene on the spot with no script.

Participants who have already completed this class are welcome to join again.  Complete beginners and those experienced in improv are all encouraged to join! 

$120/person for the series or $25/session. Register here for the entire course or three days before each subsequent class (see links below*). All sales are final.
