Level 2 | Improv games and skills to perform on stage

Improv Level 2

IMPROV Level 2 Builds on the lessons learned in Level 1 and begins to teach you how to play the various Improv games we use to create a show. We expand on fundamentals learned in Improv Level 1, including short form improv games, culminating in an optional student showcase. This class offers new curriculum and exercises not in Level 1. Level 2 can start you on your way to performing on our stage in front of an actual Carolina Improv audience. This is the most fun class we offer, since it’s all about playing games. You must have completed a Level 1 class at CIC to register.

Thursdays starting March 12, 7:00-9:00pm

Class Dates: Mar. 12,19, 26, Apr. 2, 16, 23 & 30 (the 30th is a practice for showcase) – no class the Thursday before Easter

Optional Student Showcase – Sat., May 2 – a minimum of 5 classes must be attended to participate

At Carolina Improv, we provide an environment perfect for all – experienced improvisers, aspiring actors, CPAs, attorneys, customer service representatives, and every other average John or Susan venturing into the world of improv comedy as a break from the weekly routine or forced into in business training. We encourage diversity and embrace change, following the Improv concept of “YES AND!”. Escape the real world and take a well-deserved break –it’s like a play date for adults. Be a child for a few hours every week!
