Gifford, Terrie	Set Yourself Free with Improv	Life Skills- Other, Performing Arts- Storytelling, Performing Arts- Theater	Improv is a great way to discover those interesting characters just waiting to come alive when you have some encouragement from a director.

No matter what your goal, you will have fun learning to think on your feet and be in the moment. Anyone can do improv with some basic instruction. Participants act out scenes that are made up on the spot. Often the result is comedic.	$201- $350
