FALL CLASSES NOW AVAILABLE!

Staying in the present moment on stage is the most difficult skill to master in acting. Improv for the Stage uses methods developed by Viola Spolin and Paul Sills to train actors to stay in the present moment through the use of games and improvisation. Have fun while improving your stage presence and awareness!

Taught by our very own master teacher Tom Loughlin, an Artie Award Winning actor and Distinguished Professor Emeritus from SUNY Fredonia, students will get a chance to learn from one of the area’s very best!

LEVEL 1

Saturdays, 3:30pm-6:30pm from October 11th to November 15th, 2025

Focuses primarily on exercises designed to train the student to trust their instincts when making choices on stage. Students build a foundation of improv ability and then apply those abilities to activities that require their improv skills.

LEVEL 2

**Level 1 is a prerequisite for this class

Students utilize the skills gained in Level 1 and apply them to scene-work. Students are given several scenes that are performed and rehearsed in class. Students are tasked to make in-the-moment choices with previously rehearsed material.
