This comedy and improv class is the perfect outlet for social and creative energy in a small, supportive group setting. Students dive into the fundamentals of comedic performance, including improv, sketch writing, character creation, and voice work, from accents and impressions to vocal expression and delivery. Along the way, they'll build core acting skills like storytelling, movement, and ensemble work, while developing transferable life skills such as confidence, focus, listening, and trust. Whether you're young performer in the family is an absolute beginner or returning for more, this class is all about developing your talents in a space where everyone feels safe and encouraged.

Instructor: Murph Hickey

A high-energy, immersive class designed for actors hungry to explore and expand their range.

This class is limited to 8 participants to ensure in-depth scene study work.

In this Level 2 scene study course, you’ll journey from the poetry and precision of Shakespeare to the nuance and intimacy of early contemporary and modern dialogue. Each scene is carefully selected to challenge your technique, ignite your imagination, and strengthen your ability to make bold, truthful emotional choices. Through targeted scene work, style-specific exercises, and coaching that sharpens both text and subtext, you’ll learn to shift your vocal quality, physicality, and approach to meet the demands of each era. By the end of the course, you’ll develop the versatility and confidence to leap seamlessly between classical language and contemporary realism.

This class is ideal for actors ready to elevate their craft, deepen their storytelling skills, and deliver compelling, dynamic performances across genres and time periods.
