Have fun, build self-confidence, discover your comedic voice, and make new friends in our Introduction to Improv class! In this six-week survey of the basic principles of long-form improv comedy, students will learn how to create improv scenes from scratch in a fun, fast-paced, and supportive environment. We'll explore core improv concepts such as agreement, heightening, and authenticity, and will deploy those concepts using techniques such as monologues, group games, and two-person scenes. The class will culminate in a showcase performance for friends and family at the Commodore in Ybor City. No previous experience necessary.

CLASS DATES
Class meets on Monday nights from 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM, beginning on Monday, September 16 and ending on Monday, October 21. 

Andrew Springer has loved the improv art form since he watched “Whose Line Is It Anyway” and thought ‘How hard could it be?” Turns out pretty difficult, and also very fun!

Andrew has performed with several improv teams around the Tampa Bay Area since 2013. He has been invited to perform in several improv festivals including the Countdown Improv Festival, Tampa Improv Fest, the Palm Beach Improv Festival, and O-Town Improv Festival. Andrew has experience training and performing with The Box Theater, American Stage Theatre Company, Troup X Improv, and The Commodore. He is currently appearing in shows at The Commodore including ‘The Yelp Revue’ and ‘The Captain’s Wheel’. Above all else, he loves working with improvisers at all levels of experiences, especially with those just beginning their improv journey.
