Harold Workshop
Practice The Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater’s signature long form structure known as The Harold. Exercise pulling what’s fun from the opening to inspire successful first beats. Recognize the game of the first beats to initiate second beats and tie it together with third beats. Work on group games that rest the beats and introduce a new energy to the harold as a whole.
