The holidays are here, and something wicked this way comes. This brand new improv class explores the rich storytelling possibilities that emerge when festive traditions meet darker themes. We'll work with the narrative structures that make holiday stories compelling while adding the tension and atmosphere that horror brings to the table.

Through longform improv exercises, you'll develop skills in character work, relationship building, and storytelling by exploring how familiar holiday scenarios can take unexpected turns. Each participant will take on both protagonist and supporting roles, learning what drives each character type and how they function within these layered narratives. This all culminates in a final performance.

Whether you're drawn to psychological tension, supernatural elements, or just love the creative challenge of genre-blending, this class offers a unique opportunity to expand your improv toolkit!
