Philly Improv Theater

Improv 101: Start Here

You’ll learn the fundamentals of improv and performance in a beginner-friendly, warm, coached environment: making your partner look good, “Yes, and,” creating clear environments and objects, establishing relationships, and playing with a strong emotional point of view. You’ll get lots of guided reps, build confidence on your feet, and start creating short two-person scenes that feel grounded and fun. Meets once a week for eight weeks.

Improv 101 is the first step in PHIT’s core training path.
