In-person introduction to improv class for adults. No experience necessary!
Meets for 8 classes at the Harrisburg Improv Theatre, 1633 N 3rd St Harrisburg, PA.
This class will teach students the basic principles of long-form improv comedy. Learn how to create scenes based on audience suggestions, how to develop characters, and how to say “yes, and” to your scene partners.
No prior experience in improv or theatre is necessary or expected. Many of our Level 1 students have never before been on a stage! Our Level 1 class is designed to help people feel comfortable on stage, learn the basics, make some new friends, and have fun!
This class culminates in two, optional graduation class shows:
Graduation shows: Friday, October 3rd @7pm & Sunday, October 5th @7pm.
*Each student receives a Student Pass to attend live improv shows at the HIT for FREE for the entire 8 weeks of the class! ($336 value) [Shows are every Friday and Saturday night]
Students are permitted to miss up to 2 classes.
All classes at the HIT are non-refundable.
Melissa Ford
Melissa has been involved with long-form improv at the HIT since 2015, but has always been passionate about all forms of acting and performance.
In her time at the HIT, she has performed on many teams in numerous styles including musical improv, the Harold and the Spokane.
Melissa currently performs with the Harold team Goose Parade, as well as the monthly show, What? Hell Yeah! What?! and Am I the Assshow.
When not performing improv, she can usually be found ranting about a disappointing book, napping, or painting her nails.
She is delighted to be teaching level one again, and looks forward to seeing you come to love the HIT as much as she does!
