Defiant Monkey Improv Jams!
Tue. Jul 12 to Wed. Jul 11
7pm-9pm
Improv Jams are simply a gathering of people
who love to play. Every week we'll practice
something fun and different, from learning new
improvisational games (like you see on Whose
Line is it Anyway?) to playing circle warm-up
games to exploring long-form scene work.
Improv Jams are perfect not only for those
interested in improv, but also for:
•Honing acting skills
•Increasing your confidence
•Sharpening public speaking skills
•Getting out of the house and enjoying yourself
While prior theater or improv experience is
helpful, whether you're a newbie or a pro,
there's something in every Defiant Monkey
Improv Jam for you. It's all about having fun!
