How It Works

What Classes Do You Offer?

We have two categories of classes:

Grad School: Most of our classes are intemediate/advanced classes meant for people who have taken two or three improv classes. You do not need to have taken WGIS classes to try these. You can have studied at ANY long-form improv theater to take these.
Undergrad: If you want the fundamentals, we have an "undergraduate program" of three levels.
- Level 1: Intro to Improv
- Level 2: Organic Core
- Level 3: Premise Core

You can also see a list of every class we've offered.

How Do I Enroll?

First, you sign in to the site (click 'login' in the nav bar at the top). You enter an email, we send you a link. No passwords.

Once signed in, you click on a class and then "enroll" to enroll. If it's full you can join the waiting list.

After you are enrolled, you'll get an email with either a physical address or a link to a Zoom session.

A lot happens over email. That's how you'll get reminders, updates, etc.

How Can I Find Out When You Post More Classes?

There's no fixed schedule of when we post them. It depends on when the teachers are available to teach. The best way to stay abreast of new classes is join our Facebook Group, our Discord chat server or our weekly email newsletter. For more info on those see our community page.

How Do I Pay?

See how to pay for our payment options.

If you drop out of a class with less than 24 hours notice, we may ask you pay anyway. If we fill your spot, we'll refund you.

Do I Need Prior Experience?

For more classes, yes. But you don't need to have taken WGIS classes! We accept experience from any long-form improv school. Some classes have specific pre-requisities. If you're not sure, email Will (address at bottom of site) and he might grant an exception.

How Do I Get On A Team?

We pick teams from our students. Teams run for 3-5 months. There are no auditions. To qualify, you simply have to taken any multi-week class within the last year or so. For online teams, we will ask for applications by emailing recent online students before we pick a new batch. For in person teams, we simply invite students from classes of the previous year.
