Founded by Bill Applebaum, an alumni of the world-renowned Second City Chicago school of improvisation, the Actor’s Improv Studio is a safe and supportive place for people of all skill levels and backgrounds to attend a beginner-friendly improv class and learn more about this comedic artform. The One Month Improv workshop is a set of four classes designed to quickly take your comedic skills to the next level. One of the best things about this course is that the class sizes are purposefully limited. This allows each participant to receive ample individual attention and ensures everyone can spend lots of time on stage. In months with five weeks, the fifth night is also free, and who doesn’t love free stuff?
It may surprise you to learn that a lot of the people who attend improv classes have no interest in being performers at all; they just want to boost their creativity or increase their comfort when speaking in front of a crowd. To that end, Actor’s Improv Studio also offers an Online Improv class that anyone can attend as long as they have an internet connection, a microphone, and a quiet environment. These classes take place every Tuesday night and people are welcome to participate as often as they want. The workshop aims to help participants feel comfortable being spontaneous and be more confident in their choices as a performer. This class would also be an excellent team building activity for professionals looking to bond and break the ice.
Folks who have attended the workshops at Actor’s Improv Studio report that their experiences have been mainly positive. Many reviewers state that they felt totally comfortable in the classroom even though they had no prior acting experience. The environment is fun, supportive, and laid-back, and Bill Applebaum provides valuable insights to anyone who attends. A lot of people also shared that they were hoping to return for a future workshop and that they would recommend the class to anyone.
