Improv and Sketch Classes @ Peninsula Parks & Rec Depts.

Hey, welcome! I teach improv and sketch comedy writing classes through various Community Parks & Rec departments around the San Francisco Peninsula.
A couple of practical things first. RSVPing here on Meetup is a great way to keep tabs on what's coming up, but it won't actually enroll you. To do that, you'll need the specific Parks & Rec link in each event listing, where you'll also find the cost. FYI I'm terrible at knowing whether Meetup notifications actually reach people, so I have a simple email list for when new classes open. If you'd like to be on it, message me here at meetup with your email, or send me a message at info@doncolliver.com and I'll add you.
If there are no classes listed right now, don't worry. New classes go up as soon as registration opens, so check back, or just sit tight here and I'll post as soon as something's live.
These classes are for anyone curious, whether you've never set foot on a stage or you've been doing this for years. We build a room where it's safe to try something, fail at it, and discover what's actually funny (or just true) about yourself in the process. Yes, and. Come play.

Testimonials:
“Don's improv class was so much fun! He turned a group a nervous beginners into a confident group of performers in just a few classes. I learned so much about communicating that will help me in my everyday life. I will definitely take another class ASAP!”
-David B., San Carlos

“Don is a fantastic instructor. I took a Sketch Comedy writing class, and have truly enjoyed it from the very first class to the last. It was so much fun and was so motivating that almost the whole class decided to continue writing as a group 😃 …”
-Yuce B., Palo Alto

“Don is an exceptional improv teacher. His class felt welcoming, thoughtful, and genuinely fun from day one. He creates a space where people feel safe taking risks, which made it much easier to step on stage, experiment, and grow quickly. Don emphasizes listening, presence, and generosity with scene partners, not just getting laughs. That focus made a noticeable difference in my confidence and performance over just a few weeks.”
-Hakan O., Stanford

“Great improv instructor - you get not only the fun and silliness of improv games, but also clear conceptual frameworks about how to construct funny scenes. He creates a safe space to try things out and iterate as you build understanding and confidence.”
-K. TT, San Carlos
