WGIS Summer Intensive

What Is It?

Our summer intensive is an 8 session, 1 week class that's a crash course in premise-style improv. We go over the fundamentals in game-of-the-scene as well as pulling premise. It ends with a class show on our stage. It's taught by Will Hines, Jim Woods and Sarah Claspell.
