YPW Improv! class teaches unique set of skills

Improvisational theatre is among one of the hardest forms of performance--creating a performance literally from scratch and in real time is a huge challenge!

But it's also very rewarding and will teach myriad skills including problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, active listening and others.

Plus, it's just darn fun!  You will never have such a heightened sense of play!

If all of that sounds like something you want your child to be a part of, we have an Improv class lined up as part of our offerings this Spring session for the Young Performers' Workshop.  The class will be taught by Rebecca Calkin, Assistant to the Artistic Director, who participated in professional improv through Comedy Sportz for three years!

Don't miss out on this specialty offering!  Call the box office today at 540-869-1776!
