Early Registration only $250​
Full price $300.   No Prerequisite.

Pay once, attend for LIFE!  This acclaimed class is a comfortable and supporting environment, suitable for people who have never been onstage before. Beginning students find this work easier than they thought and advanced students find The Improv Trick approach fresh and inspirational.

​This class is the foundation of the Improv Trick program.  Fittingly, this core class was created by
our founder Bill Chott (Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place, The Ringer, SNL, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). Bill has performed and taught internationally for Second City, iO (formerly Improv Olympic), and Upright Citizen's Brigade.

​Bill serves as instructor for "The Lifetime Class" as his schedule permits. Students completing this class will get to perform in a Student Showcases for their family and friends!
