STUDENT TESTIMONIALS ★★★★★
"I love this feeling when your brain goes free! You don't have to explain yourself to anybody in this class, you just show up and play together, which I love."
"I've seen growth in myself. I was in a coffee shop last week and I approached a guy who was coding and started a meaningful conversation with him. I was scared shitless because I don't like talking to anyone. This class helped me to start doing that, and not to feel awkward, but accept and own my quirkiness. Also, it's a really cool group! I appreciate you guys."
"I had just moved to New York and found this class. It's been really nice to meet new people and feel like I'm a part of something in this big city."
"This class was amazing. It really made me feel more confident in front of strangers. And especially people I didn't know. I was afraid everyone was going to judge me because I always have that in mind when I'm getting to know people. It just made me more confident. And the knowledge I gained in this improv class is just BEYOND. Thank you!"
"It's been a wonderful, wonderful experience. I want to get more into improv, now!"
"I had a great experience with everybody here. For me, this was way outside my comfort-zone, so it was really fun watching those who've had training in improv take the lead and be great leaders. But then, also watching those of us who are novices be able to grow incrementally, and do a great job... I enjoyed and appreciated that."
