Paper Street Theatre
Online Classes
The world of improv, and theatre, has changed dramatically since COVID-19. At this time we don't know when we will resume in-person classes or performances, but we do want to keep the spirit of improv, and the community we've built, alive. To do this, we are offering some online improv classes to give people the chance to play together, from the comfort of their homes. They say "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people", now's the time to put that saying to the test.
We are launching with only a few options. For more advanced students, we'll be running a Level 3/4 split class focused on advanced scenework & longform, and for students of all levels, we'll be offering three online electives! You can sign up for these drop-in elective classes on a weekly basis at a rate of $20/class, or you can purchase an Improv Pass, for $100 and attend as many as you'd like.
At the moment we are offering classes until December 8th, with more options launching in 2021.
See below for more details!
