For 6 weeks, young comedians will be taught sketch and improv in two groups. Students ages 8-12 (Group A) will begin their days with Improv and move into Sketch after lunch. Students ages 13-17 (Group B) will begin their days with Sketch and wrap up with Improv after lunch. Each day, lunch will be from 12:45 pm – 1:15pm, and students must pack a lunch. There will be a refrigerator on premise for food storage. These classes have been developed and will be taught by The PIT’s Director and Assistant Director of Education!
After the 6 class sessions, students will perform in a graduate show featuring both improv and original sketches. Friends and family are encouraged to attend!
Please note class will not be held on 5/25 to account for Memorial Day Weekend.
