Through fun, engaging exercises and classic improv games, students will learn the essential tools of improvisation — including listening, collaboration, spontaneity, and making confident choices in the moment. The emphasis is on play, connection, and skill-building, not performance pressure or being “funny.”

This class creates a supportive, encouraging environment where students can experiment, grow, and enjoy the creative process. No acting background required — just curiosity and a willingness to play.
The class is taught by Patrick McInnis, an experienced improv instructor who specializes in helping students build confidence, creativity, and strong foundational skills.
