ColdTowne Theater

Prerequisite: Level 3 or higher in an established improv school or theatrical experience.

Make improv easy again by slowing down and letting your imagination do the work for you. Play the moment honestly by noticing what the scene is already offering. Practice sustaining the scene and heightening with agreement, listening, and grounded active choices. Make moments matter by applying emotional stakes.
