Class In Session — Students perform a scene during an improv class.
We teach a style of improv that takes a single audience suggestion and builds out a whole show from it, layered with social commentary, thematic exploration and hilarious, gut-grinding comedy. Our Improv Comedy program teaches you the essence of the art of comedy in a way that will make your scenework explode. This is what we do.
Based on the techniques taught in our improv program, anyone can come into our Sketch Comedy writing program and begin to write great comedy. Our program is geared towards anybody with an interest in writing comedy for the stage or screen. We get to the root of what makes comedy work and set you up with the tools to move torward a career in entertainment.
Our screenwriting program was developed to teach students how to take their ideas and expand them into long-format scripts written specifically for the screen. The demands of the program will teach students how to focus and devote time to writing on a daily basis and build a portfolio of work.

“There is no art without order. There is no art without structure. Art is not the moment of free expression — anybody can do that. That's just masturbation and therapeutic purging. There's no art in that. Where the art comes in is in the control, in taking this material that could spew off in any direction and imposing upon it, or discovering within it or revealing, the inner order of this seemingly random, disordered or unordered behaviour.”
