Welcome to the place where your imagination gets a standing ovation. Our Training Center is a doorway to new skills, new friends, and a new version of you: one who says “yes, and…” a lot more often. You’ll laugh harder, grow braver, and surprise yourself regularly.
Our instructors are seasoned performers who know how to nurture beginners and challenge experienced players, all while keeping the room supportive, safe, and full of discovery. Improv changes people. Ask anyone who’s taken a class.
Your journey starts with Improv Basics, our eight-week fundamentals course. From there, you can jump into any of our ImprovBlox offerings (three core classes and two electives each year) – mix-and-match as you go.
Want more? Explore our deep-dive Improv BloxShops, catch a Guest Instructor workshop with world-class improv talent, or Drop-In any Monday (online or in person) for a quick hit of improv joy.
