Improv Classes

This is the class that kicks off your journey! It’s the perfect first step if you’ve never taken an improv class before. Over the course of eight weeks, you and your class will be having fun as you are led through games and exercises that will loosen you up and get you comfortable being creative on-the-spot and eventually… doing your own improv scenes!

Please note this class takes place at Harbor Media Studios in Hingham.

You’ve done some great work in the earlier levels and now you want to play and push yourself a little more? Well, this is the mid-point of your journey. You’re doing scenes, you’re playing games, but now you’re focusing more on being able to play different characters and not just yourself! We play with how you walk, how you talk, and all sorts of other ways to quickly generate characters for improv and beyond. Also, hey — Now you can audition for House Teams if you want! — Prerequisite: Level 2

Mondays, 8pm - 10pm

It’s “Big Picture” time. You’ve been doing scenes in all the previous levels, but in Level 4 you start to think about how to play the scene over the top. Figuring out with your scene partner what the game of your scene is and how to build it to a satisfying climax is one of the most useful skills in comedy — ask anyone, they’ll tell you: “Endings are hard!” — Prerequisite: Level 3

Welcome to Level Five, time to turn up the object work heat! You’ve mastered the basics, tackled scene structure, and now it’s time to put it all together in short- and medium-form games that’ll have you flexing every skill you've gained (and then some).

In this level, we’ll go deeper into performance styles and help you figure out what’s next: Maybe you’re eyeing a spot on a House Team, pumped to perform in the Level 6 Grad Show, or maybe you just want to level up your work presentation game and drop fewer puns at brunch. Whatever your goal, we’ve got you covered!

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

Learning Outcomes:

Nail longer scenes with smooth edits and killer endings.
Perform (and host!) all the short- and medium-form formats like a pro.
Master the power of group mind and ensemble magic.

Prerequisite: Level 4

The Grad Show. The finish line is in sight — putting together an Improv Asylum revue with a director that will go up for your friends, family and the general public! If you’ve taken a Sketch Writing or Musical Elective by this time, you may be pitching sketches or musical ideas. If not, no worries — you’ll be showcasing the improv skills you’ve picked up along the way. With an additional rehearsal on the main stage to prep the show with tech and music, you’ll work with your director to create a night you’ll never forget. — Prerequisite: Level 5
