Advanced Topics for Teens
- 📅 Various Days/Times at ColdTowne Theater
- 💸 Tuition varies
The Advanced Topics series encompasses a variety of Improv, Sketch & Stand Up skills and formats, designed to provide short-term, intense study of specific ideas. Classes culminate in public performances and may serve to launch long term Improv/Sketch troupes and Main Stage cast needs. Classes/troupes that require prior approval are noted as such. It’s not a big deal if you sign up for the wrong thing. We can fix it.
Advanced IMprov Topics:
3:30 – 4:45, Sundays. Session 1: September 14 – October 19. Developing grounded, multi-faceted characters and Improvising the world of the show from that character’s perspective. Session 2: Open to Middle and High School students who have completed Intermediate and/or Advanced Improv with Excused Absence. Register for either session here.

This is Step 1 in ExAb’s quest to dominate the world of written and rehearsed funny business. Improv experience preferred but not required. Ages (mature) 12 and up.
