Acting for Improvisers
Acting is the art of achieving truthful fiction on stage. Great improvisers seek this as well. Improv is about more than just “finding the funny.” Because many improvisers come to the stage from other walks of life, they may lack the basic stage craft that lets them be reliably seen and heard on stage. This class will help you be real, build technique, and shine– on any stage.

Improv Fundamentals Part 1 - Six Saturdays
Six Saturdays | 2-4 PM
October 24, 31 | November 7, 14, 21 | December 5
The fundamentals of improv are deceptively simple. You can learn them in a few hours. (But we warn you, it can take a lifetime to master them.) Improv is a practice that you can engage in on stage and off.
Support your partner. Listen. Blurt! Weave a fresh, engaging story out of thin air. Is improv comedy? Sometimes, sure. But more importantly, it’s connection.
For actors, writers, performers, and folks who have never performed. Prerequisite: Improv 101 or equivalent (talk to us if you aren’t sure.)This class consists of a combination of games and scene-work, with debriefs that enhance your personal experience.

Tell Your Story! A 5-Week Storytelling Adventure at the Mopco
Storytelling isn’t a talent. It’s a skill. And skills can be practiced.
You tell stories all day long — at work, at dinner, in the group chat, in the car. Some land. Some… wander. This class is about getting good at it: building the muscles that make people lean in, no matter what you’re telling or who you’re telling it to.
