Shakespearean Improv!

Service Description

In this class we will combine Improv and Shakespeare to create scenes and characters with a Shakespearean flavor while still being fun (and comprehensible) for the audience. We will combine both Long Form and Short Form improv. No need to know anything about Shakespeare! The class will also be working on some ideas towards making a specific Romeo and Juliet Format! You'll learn to add elements of verse, rhyme, and Elizabethan character types to scenes set anywhere from London 1589 to Baltimore today.
