IMPROV 600: Performance & The Stage, Mondays, Winter '27

Rehearse and Perform Live Improvised Theatre, with Instruction and Feedback, at the Market Theater in Pike Place Market! Each week, you'll receive one hour of advanced improv classroom time, followed by an hour of performance for an audience on the Pike Place Market Theater stage! After the show, you'll receive 30 minutes of notes, discussion and valuable direct feedback, all provided by a veteran Unexpected Production director and improviser. Performances start on the 3rd week of class. The first two mandatory classes are instruction and rehearsal only. Use this performance opportunity to hone your skills and celebrate your progress. Take risks in front of an audience with educational guidance that supports the student performer through the ups and downs of an improvised show. Avoid the trappings of bad habits or default behaviors that can sometimes happen as a student moves from class setting to performance that can inhibit the progress of improvisers. Enjoy the development of ensemble as the concept of taking care of your scene partner plays out in these weekly shows.
