Class Description

Join us for a lively Drop-in Improv Class taught by Inspired Acting Company Artistic Director Jeff Thomakos. This one-day workshop is designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and remind you how fun it is to play.

Together, we'll explore the fundamentals of improvisation through games, ensemble exercises, and unscripted scenes that emphasize listening, collaboration, and trusting your instincts. Whether you are brand new to improv or a seasoned improviser looking to get back in the room, this class offers a supportive, low-pressure environment where everyone can learn and contribute.

Notes: 

Please dress for movement, as the work is physical and active.

Class size is limited to 20 participants, so advanced registration is strongly encouraged

Come ready to play, laugh, and create in the moment.
