Infinite Tag Exploration

Friday 12.12.25 1pm-3pm

Max Capacity: 14​

$75

Let’s start with a scene then, using various edits, explore the funniest, funnest, or downright bonkers choices that our teammates make...and never stop. It’s all about supportive ensemble play and, while we may pause to chat for perspective, each scene will inspire the next through exploration, deconstruction and justification. In this workshop, we’ll exercise:  

• • Watching scenes actively and with intention from the outside and with the aim of building on the last idea

  • Using tags and other editing mechanics to explore our scenes and establish truths

  • Answering the questions we may have about characters, history, and the world as we know it within our scenes

This workshop is perfect for improvisers comfortable in their scene work but may want more practice and tools to support from the outside of the scene that goes beyond walking onto a scene.

There's No Game of Scene Driving the Car!

Friday 12.12.25 10am-12pm

Max Capacity: 16

$50

No matter your preferred improv style, establishing, recognizing, and setting up the game for success takes any scene from "meh" to "oh yeah"! This workshop covers prescribed games, how to build off a premise, and how to balance character discovery with payoff. We also approach strategies on how to heighten, break, and revisit games during an improv set. After warmups and check ins, we jump into improv games and scenes. Folks who find themselves struggling with overthinking on stage or wanting to play a game "correctly" will greatly benefit from this session. By the end of the workshop participants will leave with tools to bring their games to the next level and feel more confident in their comedic timing. Participants in this workshop should have at least a year of improv experience with some knowledge of "game of the scene".

Familiarity Breeds Content

Saturday 12.13.25 1pm-3pm

Max Capacity: 12

$75

"Hey… don’t we know each other?” Yes, of course we do! When our characters come out with a shared history, their connection feels truer, their perspectives more engaging, and our scenes can become more fun to play! In this workshop, we’ll ditch the awkward getting-to-know-you phase, use our real life as inspiration and dive straight into dynamic relationships that bring our scenes to life.

Through a mix of exercises and scene work, we’ll practice:

• Bringing honesty and depth to our character perspectives and relationships

• Establishing environment with details specific to our lives to inspire meaning and purpose in our scene 

• Playing the obvious and gifting fun facts that honor spontaneity 

This workshop is perfect for improvisers at all levels looking to build scenes without feeling like they’re inventing so much. Whether you’re playing best friends, rivals, exes, or acquaintances with shared baggage, you’ll walk away with the tools to help build your scenes more naturally.

Danger Zone: Mastering the Forbidden Scene

Saturday 12.13.25 10am-12pm

Max Capacity: 12

$50

You’ve learned the “rules” of improv — now let’s see what happens when we break them. In this workshop, we’ll tackle the scenes and “rules” you’ve been warned about: transaction scenes, teaching scenes, even leaving your partner alone on stage. Learn how to get yourself out of a sticky situation — by first putting yourself in one. This course is designed for intermediate to experienced improvisers who want to step out of their comfort zone and expand their play. And while we’ll be breaking improv rules, we won’t be breaking the rules of basic human kindness. This is a safe, supportive space for experimentation, risk-taking, and laughter. By the end, you’ll leave this workshop not just unafraid of scenic challenges — but excited to face them head-on.

Endearing Duos

Saturday 12.13.25 1pm-3pm

Max Capacity: 10

$50

This workshop is about becoming a duo the audience roots for. Not just funny—endearing. We’ll work on choices that build trust, warmth, empathy, and charm at every stage of the set: before scenes, starting scenes, during scenes, ending scenes, and after.

Good for all improvisers — in duos or not.
