No experience required. No pressure to perform. Just high-energy fun, human connection, and core improv principles.
WHY OUR WORKSHOPS?
Most people hesitate to try improv because they think: “I could never get up on stage and be funny on the spot.“
Here’s the secret: unless you read off a script every second of your day, you’ve been improvising your entire life.
Our four, standalone Intro to Improv workshops are structured specifically to take the fear out of the equation. There is no show hanging over your head at the end, no memorization, and zero pressure to be a professional comedian. You’ll build confidence, sharpen your listening skills, be creative, and learn how to collaborate without overthinking.
OUR WORKSHOP BREAKDOWN
(Take them in any order at your pace. Each standalone 2-hour workshop focuses on a core principle of improv.)
LISTENING
Great improv isn’t about thinking of the funniest thing to say next. It’s about paying close attention to what your partner just said. In this workshop, we focus on eye contact, vocal tone, body language, and how to convey our thoughts and ideas clearly.
AGREEING
The golden rule of improv is “Yes, and…”. Disagreement stops the momentum of an improv scene. Agreement creates momentum. In this workshop, you’ll practice accepting whatever premise your partner hands you and adding your own brick to the wall.
CREATING
One of the most-common objections to improv is that “I won’t know what to say.” This workshop focuses on unlocking your creative energy. You don’t have to carry the load alone. Improv is never “your work.” It’s “our work.”
OBJECTS & ENVIRONMENT
Make the invisible visible. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use space work, physical commitment, and environmental interaction to build detailed, immersive worlds out of thin air without needing a single prop or set piece on stage.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Started with the Intro to Improv class and loved how welcoming and encouraging my instructor and classmates were…Fort Wayne finally has the amazing improv space it was missing!
-Kristin P.
So fun and learned a lot. Built some transferable skills (confidence, listening, creativity) while having a good time, too. I didn’t expect the diverse class, but it was a welcome surprise. And Michael is maybe the nicest person you’ll meet.
-Josh W.
I had so much fun learning how to improv and making new friends. As adults we rarely have opportunities to make a fool of ourselves and play make believe.
