Girls Improv Comedy - International Women's Day Workshop

Workshop Description:

This high-energy improv workshop invites young girls to step into their power, use their voices, and take up space—loudly and proudly!

Through playful games, creative exercises, and lots of laughter, students will learn the basics of improvisation while building confidence, teamwork, and trust. We’ll practice making big choices, saying “yes” to our ideas, supporting our teammates, and showing up as our full, fearless selves. No scripts, no wrong answers - just imagination, collaboration, and courage.

A Note on Cost:

We charge a small fee of $10, which supports instructor fees, art supplies, and ongoing support for the International Women's Day Art Show into the future. We do not want cost to be a barrier to access, so if you're unable to pay please use the discount code FREETHEART for a no-fee class.

Age Ranges: 1st to 7th graders

Max Number of Students: 20
