Improvisation is free-form communication through humor. Students will gain a fundamental knowledge of how and why humor works and therefore gain confidence and presence in front of an audience or public speaking. Lessons are enjoyably learned via a series of fun games, exercises and teamwork activities. This class is appropriate for beginners but is also a valuable tool for young actors with some experience, as improv is a useful skill that is quite different than acting.
Classes will be instructed by professional actors and directors, will operate in an enjoyable, collaborative environment and will be a safe place for all to stretch, exercise and grow.

IT WORKS! Students to Stage!
IT WORKS! Students to Stage! We are here to help you reach your goals.
Performing is fun, and taking a performance class is no exception. Many of our students enroll for the sheer enjoyment,
but, there are also many real-life opportunities out there if you know where to look. Not only do we here at Monster Box
prefer to cast and work with actors that have trained with us, but, no matter where you go, nothing shows off the work
that we do in our Training Center better than your success. We are proud of our track record, and even more proud of our
past students, so many of which are working all over the country and have made this their career. So, if performing is
your goal, or your dream, or just something you want to try, you are in the right place. This is a great place to start.
Whatever you want to achieve, let us help you make it happen.
