Details
Do you dream of being the next big star on Saturday Night Live or Who's Line Is It Anyway? Do you want to learn Improvisation the way Wayne Brady, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Robin Williams or Ryan Stiles did? We work as a group with the emphasis on "trust and support." You will work with your fellow actors to form a company, with regular chances to step out and shine! We create an entire Improvisational Theatre Troupe in one week, with a performance on the last day! It's fun. It's exciting. It will change your life! This is an amazing week of Improvisational Theatre! You will learn to create unscripted scenes where the comedy (or drama) comes out of the situation. You will learn how to feel comfortable on stage without a script. Most of all, you will have a week of fun and exploration with your fellow actors in the world of the improvisation ensemble... Be a part of something bigger than yourself... a must for all actors.

Location Information
Experience an exciting summer in Washington, D.C. with US Performing Arts, as we celebrate our fifth year in the nation's capital. Located in the District's historic neighborhood of Foggy Bottom, students will reside on the campus of George Washington University. With its ideal northwest locale, George Washington University is within easy visiting of all the historic sites in our nation's capital and steps away from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. These are fantastic programs to coincide with a family vacation to Washington, D.C.
