Class is back in session! Faraway Theater’s fall term classes are LIVE–jump on in!

🤣 101: Intro to Improv: Improv 101 is the first step of Faraway’s Performance Path, a series of classes designed to take you from improv newbie to powerhouse performer. After completion of the Performance Path, students are eligible to audition for House Night, participate in Advanced Studies, and more! Each class on the Performance Path culminates in a student showcase at the end of the term.

🎤 101: Intro to Stand-Up: This writing and performance focused class will offer students a kind and supportive environment to learn the basics of stand-up. From generating material, writing jokes, and performing live on stage, this class is ideal for complete beginners, dedicated open mic'ers, or anyone looking to get back into stand-up.

🤗 Joy of Improv: Whether you want a new hobby, need to get more comfortable with public speaking, or would love to shake things up a bit and meet new people, this class and community has something to offer you. Joy of Improv has no performance aspect–the class exists simply for you to try something new and fun.

🪂 Drop-In Improv Class: Curious about improv? Every Tuesday at 7:00 PM, we hold a one-hour, no-pressure, $10 drop-in class, followed by a student jam open to and FREE for all improv students of any school.

Unlock your creativity, get out of your head, and meet a whole new community of kind, fearless, and funny folks at Faraway Theater.
