Philly Improv Theater

Advanced MonoScene

Mark Stetson and Patrick Williams (Awkward Family Dinner) will be teaching an advanced MonoScene workshop.

The MonoScene is an entire show based in one location without scene breaks. Mark and Patrick will take you through making strong character choices and building strong relationships with each character on stage while patiently driving the plot forward for a 30 min show.

This form is the foundation of their show, Awkward Family Dinner, headlining SPRING PHEST at PHIT on Saturday May 17th, and performed at The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT) for 10 years running.

Both Mark and Patrick are veteran improv teachers in NYC having taught at The PIT, Business Improv, varius theaters across Europe, and the Montclair Film Festival Training Center.

Adults 18+

About the Instructors:

Patrick is an actor/ improviser/ comedian who grew up in South Carolina, but now calls Brooklyn his home. He received his BA from the University of South Carolina and his MFA (acting) from The New School for Drama. On Wednesday nights Patrick can be seen performing on The PIT’s house team, The Community Players, as they improvise a community theatre production for a play that has never been written. It’s fun and funny. With his co-writer, developer, and dear friend (Dan Titmuss), Patrick wrote a 2 person 1 hour sci-fi adventure, Life’s Yearning, where all the parts are played by the two performers. When he isn’t performing or auditioning, Patrick hustles as an auctioneer who sells storage lockers for Auctioncheer. Just like Storage Wars!
