Hey Teen Person-
We’ve got your back.
You are the stars. You are the Galaxy.
It’s not easy to find a place where you can inexcusably be yourself…even if you’re not sure who yourself is sometimes. Our goal is to create a space where young people can come together and forget a little bit about all the static surrounding our souls, and to just be.
More information below!
Improv is about being in the moment. We’ve only got so many moments- so why not get a head start on being present.
In these workshops we practice creative problem-solving, teamwork, self-advocacy, flexibility, communication and clarity- but you don’t even really notice, because it’s so fun.
Teens in this program work toward confidence on stage and off and learn how to negotiate between playfulness and responsibility while exploring their artistic inclination.

Testimonials:
“When we arrived, I was unsure if my students would embrace being outside of their comfort zone and trying something new. Our biggest struggle as educators of at-risk teens is to give them a feeling of safety that allows for honest expression.
I was overwhelmed in the best way possible. Students that have flat-out refused to engage and participate were actively engaged and visibly enjoying it. I want every single student to see the value in performance art.”
- Teacher, Paladin Technical HS
“This program has helped Jamison to understand how to work WITH rather than AGAINST, it has helped him to feel more confident, definitely contributed to his sense of self-efficacy and made him feel valuable.”
-Parent, Teen Improv
“I could tell these teachers had experience with teens--they treated them (as one of my students said) "like adults." They appreciate not being talked down to. [The teacher] did an amazing job explaining activities and adapting to students' needs. It was so nice to have some of the things we'd established reinforced by an outside teacher. As an educator, I was so impressed that he could apply improv to life.”
-Teacher, In-school partnership
