Kids Improv Classes! This Month at National Comedy Theatre!

Kids taking improv class, Tweens & Teens taking improv class... this is very important to us here at NCT. 
Kids, tweens & teens have unlimited imagination and infinite ability to listen well and learn team work skills that will stay with them throughout life. 

I think the most important thing we teach kids in improv class is not to be afraid of mistakes. In improv, mistakes are opportunities! We celebrate mistakes! Without mistakes, how would we learn? Its a good lesson for kids of any age!
Do you have a kid, tween or teen who would have a great time in improv class? Join us!


Kids, Tween & Teen Improv Comedy Class
Saturday October 18th

Kids Class (Ages 7-10) 10:00am- 12:00pm $40
Kids Improv Class builds confidence while teaching listening skills, team work and quick thinking. Kids will get on stage and learn the same exciting improv games seen on stage at National Comedy Theatre!

Tween & Teen Class (Ages 11-15) 1:00pm- 3:00pm $40
Tweens & Teens get a bit more of a challenge as they learn improv games and exercises designed to encourage quick thinking, trust, self confidence and eliminate fear of failure. Stage time and instructor interaction are guaranteed.
