A couple of people have approached me about starting a second section of Improv 401, since the first one is full. I wanted to see how much interest there is in the possibility of having another Improv 401 class on Thursday nights, starting March 6th.

Shout out if you would be interested.

The first Improv 401 class is bursting at the seams.

But not to worry, you know what that means,

Another round is open for registration

And it is cause for celebration!


Prerequisite: Improvisation 101, 201, and 301 or 1 year performing experience or equivalent

Improv 401

This is the first class in a series focusing on improvising a full length play, movie, or story that not only entertains audiences, but transports them as well. This workshop gets to the heart of improv for storytellers by exploring scenework for narrative longform. We explore deep understanding of scene and story structure as the building block of longform. (Class size limit = 8)

Instructors: Shana Merlin and Shannon McCormick

Mondays May 5 - June 30th (no class May 26) 8-10pm (8 meetings) $150

At the new Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Road

**We offer one or two interships per two month class cycle. Interns staff the box office and light booth in the Gnap! Theatre Projects shows in exchange for free or reduced workshops. Please contact us at shana@merlin-works.com for more information

I've been told that improv is not for cool people. Does that mean I have to drop the class?

And so, I join the Monday eve'ning class,
Because I missed the prev'ous one - alas!
We will not meet on May two-six for mirth -
Coincidentally, my date of birth.
So kind of Shana to Observe my Day,
But speaking just for me, I'd rather Play
Than be reminded of another year,
Unless a better offer doth appear.
