SUMMARY:DON'T PANIC - IMPROV FOR ADULTS JUNE 2026 TUE 7:30PM
DESCRIPTION:JUMP TO REGISTRATION \n‘There are people who prefer to say ‘Yes’\, and there are people who prefer to say ‘No’. Those who say ‘Yes’ are rewarded by the adventures they have\, and those who say ‘No’ are rewarded by the safety they attain.’ – Keith Johnstone \nGo on a journey of self-discovery with us to unlock your inner child and see how much we can still learn\, even as adults\, through play! \nThe aim of ‘Don’t Panic’ is to confront the fear associated with performing and improvising through a variety of fun exercises. Great emphasis is placed on failing happily and thus being emboldened to take risks and be adventurous. \nThis introductory course is great for performers wanting to sharpen their skills\, business people needing confidence with public speaking or anyone who wants to be more spontaneous\, creative\, playful\, open and present. \n  \nDOWNLOAD CLASS SCHEDULE\n  \n \n

DESCRIPTION:A two-act evening of spontaneous scenes and songs based on audience suggestions\, by some of our most experienced players and their guests. Come along and chase away those Monday blues with some genuine belly-laughs. \nAfter warming up with some fun and interactive games and scenes\, our improvisers bring the 1950’s Film Noir genre to life on stage using audience suggestions in our improvised Murder Mystery.

Join us amongst the murky underworlds where crime and passion cross swords and you’re never far from a man in a hat. \n★★★★★ \n‘First\, kudos to the first team performing improv out of thin air. It was spectacular! I truly had a good laugh\, and an amazing experience\, the Film Noir performance was outstanding\, witty\, funny\, and mostly thrilling\, perfect for the genre\, well done to everyone who made it happen.’ – Meriem Demil
