In this class, students will use improvisational theater, or improv, to create a fun and comedic Christmas show. Students will play holiday-themed theater games and tell fun Christmas stories as a group. No experience is required, students will learn from a teacher trained at the legendary Second City Theater whose alumni include famous actors and comedians like Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Mike Meyers. Learners will learn the same techniques that these successful performers use on stage, on television, and in movies to create a fun and entertaining Christmas show on the spot. Improv is a fun way to learn about theater, allowing students to focus on performance and creativity rather than memorizing lines. It's a great foundation for anyone who has an interest in acting or writing whether it's in comedy or drama. It's also a fun way to gain confidence and to improve public speaking. This class will introduce learners to improv through fun holiday-inspired games.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach classes related to comedy and humor including sketch comedy, improv, and satire writing.
I'm an improvisor, comedian, and writer who has written professionally for web series, comic strips, and satirical publications like McSweeney's. I've been fortunate to graduate from the Second City's renowned Conservatory Program. - with leading comedy actors and writers including Kevin McDonald of TV's The Kids in the Hall and the movie Lilo & Stitch.
I believe that comedy has the ability to improve skills like interpersonal communication and writing as well as boost students' confidence. Whether a learner is the "class clown" or someone who is a bit more quiet, I aim to create a learning environment where they can have fun, gain confidence and learn new skills.
I have a bachelor of arts degree and a master's degree in business.
