This group is for performers who act or improvise and who want to be better at their craft. Our events are like workshops. We get on our feet and try things out. We practice improv comedy, work on audition monologues, read plays together, etc.

Some events are free, others have a fee to cover the costs of space rental and to pay for the coach, if applicable. Most events are led by Kevin Mullaney, the organizer, an actor and improvisor with over fifteen year's experience teaching improv and leading improv rehearsals.
