Sparked by a spontaneous, spectacular discovery of cross-generational community through comedy at the Arts Hub in 2024, this series of classes will teach the principles of improv to kids and adults alike. Participants across the age range will have fun while learning to think on their feet and roll with the surprises that daily life hands us. An extraordinary opportunity for family members to connect creatively, the series is also ideal for individual adults and teens, whether interested in performance or simply curious.
