deconstructing true stories
SATURDAYS 9:00 - 11:00am
September 7th - November 9th Happier Valley Comedy Theater 1 Mill Valley Rd in Hadley $228* PREREQUISITE: Completion of any Ensemble class including Armando or permission from [email protected] |
In this Advanced Long Form Improv class, we learn and practice structures that deconstruct a source conversation or monologue, such as Armando, Living Room, Interview... and maybe we'll even come up with our own true story-inspired structure along the way! This class is a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs, tips and tricks, and get lots of practice with structures inspired by true stories. Plus, a chance to learn from the amazing Mosie!

*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.
