This class is a great introduction to the Art of improvisation. Through a series of acting exercises and improv games performed in a safe and fun environment, you'll learn to create great improvised scenes and characters through agreement, support, and playing at the top of your intelligence.

Improv 301 - Old School Harold
Saturdays 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Class begins March 28th!
$175

The Harold is the original long form improvisation format from which all the current long form formats have sprung. The Harold is the foundation upon which the newer formats have been built. This class will focus on the teachings of Improv Guru Del Close, as the class works together studying scene work, teamwork, structure, and developing the "group mind".

Improv Master Class
Sundays 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Class begins March 29th!
$120

This is an ongoing class for experience and advanced improvisers only. In this class we continue working on The Harold and other long form formats as we continue to stress the fundamentals of improvisation. New formats and forms are also encouraged and experimented with as we attempt to push both the form and the actor to new heights.

Make Your Damn Movie!
Saturdays 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Class begins March 28th!
$175

Turn your idea for a short film into an actual short film in only eight weeks. In this class we will cover everything from writing, to shooting, to editing, to screening. You make the movie. We'll make the popcorn!

All the above classes meet weekly for 8 weeks and are taught
by me, Tom Booker. And remember, I am very willing to set up very liberal payment plans. If you want to take a class,
I want to make it happen!

Commercial Audition Workshop
Saturday, May 23rd
10:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

This one day workshop will teach you how to use your training in improvisation to improve your audition skills. We will go through a series of different types of auditions as we show and discuss what improv techniques can be used in the commercial audition process. Students will be taped during their auditions so the can see what they need to work on and how much their work has improved during the class.
