Improv Troupe
Registration Open for Shelburne Falls Improv Troupe
What is Improv Troupe? Participants will learn improv games leading to scene and story creation. Then there will be regular performances at local venues (festivals, Senior Centers, theaters, farmers markets, etc.) where the troupe will have a chance to improvise in front of an audience with a mix of improvisation and short scenes they have created in rehearsal. Actors are encouraged to find their own strengths without judgement or competition. No previous experience is required.
