Improv for Adults

Join Taproot Theatre in our lobby/cafe space for an introduction-to-improvisation class for adults. Learn the basics of story-telling and comedy; improve your ability to think on your feet; boost your communication skills and confidence – or just come out and laugh with some new friends. You’ll learn the basics of improv alongside a variety of different theater games. Concludes with a low-key performance for family and friends during the last class session.

Taproot Theatre acknowledges that we live, work and play on the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the Duwamish, and that we occupy this land. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy and resisting the erasure of Indigenous past, present and future.
