Speakeasy Improv Classes Begin in October

The Magnetic Theatre is thrilled to announce that Speakeasy Improv will offer two unique class series beginning October 3rd and 4th.  

The Speakeasy is designed to use improv for positive change through fast-paced play and collaboration. Teaching the deeper nature of improv, The Speakeasy aims to inspire artists to stay actively engaged in their craft, grow as individuals, and contribute to the growth of their artistic community. We want our community to have a blast, grow as people, and feel comfortable doing exactly what our name says… speak easy! Instructor Tim Hearn’s approach to both the arts as well as the craft of teaching prioritizes the process of play over the final result. He implements the rules of improv as a philosophy for living and as an indispensable tool for performance.

The fall course offerings will be “Who Am I?” beginning October 3rd, and “The Fellowship” beginning October 4th.  Both classes will take place at 6:30pm and run for 10 weekly sessions with a break for Halloween.  With specific learning targets addressed through a focus on process over product, these courses are suited to students with varying levels of improvisational experience.  Each week offers a distinct lesson designed to ensure students learn through collaboration and active play. Classes will be in-person with limited enrollment, and all COVID precautions will be observed.
