Monday Night Drop In
Out of Your Mind Improvisation led by Doug Manes

Please see the AND Calendar for upcoming dates and locations.

In these drop in sessions we will be working primarily in an actor based, character driven style of improvisation, a style that will serve both comic and dramatic work. We will work with concepts like point of concentration, point of view dialogue, explore and heighten and scenic focus as developed and taught by Michael Gellman of Second City in Chicago, as well as with traditional rules of good improvisation. Along the way, there will be guest leaders such as Gary Austin and Hilary Chaplain.

"Doug 'gets it.' He is practiced and skillful and I encourage all to 'work out' with him"
- Gary Austin (founder, The Groundlings)
