Improv for Actors Class Starts February 12th!
Improv for Actors is taught by one of the most talented and dedicated improvisers at Unexpected Productions, Susie Simpkins. This class will focus on improv for acting and auditioning. Students will be expected to read cold readings and perform audition scenes in front of the class. Susie emphasizes that improvisors must have respect for the theatre and the stage and that improv training is important to stage work and vice versa. This class will help any improviser take their stagecraft to the next level. This class is available for all students who have completed all 5 previous level or with instructor permission.
The class is four weeks, and meets Sundays, from 12pm to 3pm at the Intiman Playhouse.

Why should you take improv classes?
Thousands of students have passed through UP's improv classes. Some are looking to pursue the art of Improvisational Theatre. Some are looking to improve their public presentation or team skills. Some are looking to overcome shyness, to meet others, or simply to have fun and laugh with a group of fun, easy-going people.
Whatever the reason, UP's teachers work hard to teach the basics of improv, which are not only useful to improvisers, but to anybody wanting to work with others, as a member of a team, as an effective communicator, as a good listener, or simply as a friend!
With 25 years experience, UP teachers have had thousands of success stories, from groups of friends to stand-up-comedians, from successful improvisers to Hollywood Stars, and from local-business owners to Vice Presidents of Fortune 500 companies!
All quarterly classes are $200: one of the best values in town for acting / improv classes. All quarterly classes are eight weeks long.
Since its beginnings in 1986, the Unexpected Productions Improv School has become the largest and most established school of improv in the Northwest.
UP's improv classes have spawned many improv groups and well known improvisers, including several who have gone on to entertain and teach all over the USA. They've also formed a lot of great relationships, including some of which haven't ended in terrible tragedy!
