Ages: Tweens & Teens (Middle and High School)
Join us for a six-week deep dive into the art of the ensemble. This session is designed for students who have already have improv comedy in their bones—whether at SHoMA, another theater, or camp—and are ready to move beyond quick games and into the meat of long-form storytelling.
In this class, we shift our focus from "What happens next?" to "Who are we to each other?" By leaning into advanced scene work, character development, and the essential CROW (Character, Relationship, Objective, Where), students will learn to build rich, connected worlds from a single suggestion. It’s about more than just being funny; it’s about deep listening, supporting your partner, and taking the kind of creative risks that only happen in a truly supportive room.
Our youth improv programs are all about the process—building confidence, quick thinking, and a "Yes, And" mindset that serves students well both on and off the stage.
What We’ll Explore
The Power of "Yes, And": Taking every idea and running with it.
Long-Form Concepts: Connected scenes, recurring characters, and group storytelling.
Character & Relationship: Making bold physical and emotional choices.
Ensemble Awareness: Learning to "have each other's backs" on stage.
Timing & Comedy: Finding the humor in the truth of a scene.
