Theatre is something for all ages to enjoy, and Playhouse on Park is excited to offer adults a chance to learn! This winter, the Playhouse will be holding a class called Introduction to Improvisation, for those who want to perform, improve their public speaking, or try something new.
This class will teach the basics of improvisational theater. Students will discover how to actively listen, to use their own lives to create stories, and to avoid common thought communication patterns. The lessons will focus on the fundamental principles of improvisation with emphasis on scene building skills and having fun. The instructor will be Claire Zick, a seasoned improvisational actress. Ms. Zick was an ensemble member of Unexpected Productions (Seattle’s first and most reputable improv theater company), and has studied improv at Magnet Theater and UCB Theatre.
Classes run on Mondays from Jan. 12 through March 2, 7 – 10 p.m. Registration is required; class size is limited to 14 students, and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The class fee is $200.
