Summer Classes Starting June 2!


Improv I : Essentials of Play ($199)
Pre-Requisite: None (7 week course)

This class is designed to maximize PLAY through teaching the essentials of what makes a good improviser, not just games or exercises that you can find in a book yourself.  Our philosophy is that by breaking down our bad habits and honing our good ones, we are able to focus our skills and apply them to where they can be optimized - whether that's in our everyday lives at the office, improving our dating lives, actualizing our goals and ambitions or joining a team and performing on stage!

Improv II : Essentials of Performance ($199)
Pre-Requisite: Improv I or instructor approval (7 week course)

In this course we will learn the essential skills for a successful improv comedy show.  Specifically, we will work on finding the game of the scene, and heightening for maximum laughs.  By the end of the course, you will be able to identify strong game moves versus weak ones, learn how to play to the top of your intelligence, and discover that the key to being funny, is not to be funny.

Improv III : The Harold ($199)
Pre-Requisite: Improv II or instructor approval (7 week course)
Created by late Del Close (while in San Francisco), The Harold is the original longform. In this advanced course we work on developing as improvisers through the endless possibilities of longform improvisation by fully exploring the characters, themes, games, and relationships. In 7 weeks, this class will prepare students to open for EndGames' Friday night main stage show: 'F!#&ing Free Fridays'
