About Your Teacher: Christine Stevens discovered improv in high school and has loved making stuff up ever since.  She's studied with Paul Sills and Keith Johnstone and was a member of the Ha-Ha’s for a bunch of years. Over the past 30 something years she’s enjoyed teaching improv to folks from ages 8 to 80.

*Students must attend at least 6 of the 8 classes to graduate to the next level.

*Happier Valley Comedy rents land that was stolen from Indigenous people, including the Pocumtuc and Nipmuc tribes. A land acknowledgement is not appropriate or adequate to address this injustice that continues to harm people today. Therefore, we have instituted an ongoing process of contributing to the preservation of the lands and cultures of Northeastern Indigenous Peoples. All class fees contain an additional $3 to benefit The Nolumbeka Project, a local nonprofit whose mission is dedicated to these goals.
