Civic Theatre of Allentown

Welcome to your new creative playground! 

Whether you want to level up your actor's toolkit, conquer public speaking, or just spend two hours laughing, this six-week workshop is a fantastic place to start. We dive headfirst into the world of unscripted comedy in a completely warm, high-energy, and encouraging environment. No prior stage experience is required!

Together, we will look beyond basic "YES AND" to discover the exact mechanics that make an unscripted scene click. Through energetic exercises and group games, you will master how to make bold choices, listen with intent, and organically edit scenes as they happen. We focus on the underlying structure of what makes a moment funny, giving you the tools to spot patterns and transform a tiny spark of an idea into a hilarious, fully realized comedy set. This class is all about embracing the joy of experimentation and finding the fun in spontaneous storytelling.

The workshop culminates in week six with a live student showcase. It’s the ultimate finale where you and your classmates take the stage to perform a completely improvised set for an audience!

To ensure everyone gets plenty of stage time and personal coaching, capacity is limited. We require a minimum of 8 students to run, with a strict maximum of 14 spots available.

Classes run 7-9pm Tuesdays from Sept 15th to Oct 20th
