1055 - Never Too Old to Play: Introduction to Improv
In-Person Course | Registration opens 9/8/2026 10:00 AM EDT
Do you like to laugh? Do you enjoy connecting with supportive people? Do you cherish moments of joy? If you answered “yes” to these questions, this is the course for you!
We will gather in a safe, encouraging environment to play and explore. Using our imaginations, we will create fun worlds, collaborative stories and an overall sense of connected joy. Class members will learn improv by participating in various games, activities and exercises that involve working together, listening to each other, making choices, and discovering that mistakes can be gifts. They will develop trust, not only in themselves, but also in each other.
Everyone is welcome – no prior improv or theater experience is needed – and you do not need to be funny. Just bring yourself: you are enough!
This course will be offered in-person at George Mason University.
