New York Improv Classes
The
National Comedy Theatre improv classes are an exciting
and fun approach for people from all walks of life: actors, writers, lawyers
or plumbers, beginners to experienced performers, the skills we teach can
be applied to all areas.
Ask any casting director what skills are most
important when seeing an actor at an audition - the vast majority would
answer that it is the ability to improv.
Our teachers have been featured in commercials, film and television as well
as performed in theaters across the country and all around the world. Whether
you want to perform improv in front of a live audience, nail that next audition
or develop the skills that can help you on any stage, set or work environment,
the National Comedy Theatre improv classes can help you
achieve your goals.
We offer three levels of adult workshops, each building upon
the lessons of the previous.
Class sizes are limited, and are taught in six week sessions.

A typical commercial audition runs less than 30 seconds. The ability
to create instant characters and make quick choices is critical. This
course focuses on getting you out of your head, making strong choices
leaving a lasting impression that will help you get the role.
Second Semester
6 weeks
Fee $199.00
Prerequisite - NCT First Semester
Building upon the skills learned in Level 1, this class places a stronger
emphasis on character and complex scene development. Improv theory,
story-telling and advanced improv skills are learned as well as a myriad
of short form games. This class will culminate in an invited performance
at our theatre.
