Ages 5-7
Mondays, 4:00-5:00 PM CST at Menomonee Club Drucker Center (1535 N Dayton St)
In this class, students will learn to shake out the nerves and take the stage as confident and collaborative performers. Improvisation teaches how to become un-scripted storytellers through development of physical, cognitive, and verbal communication. This class culminates in our troupe’s own mini classroom improv show!
Ages 8-11
Mondays, 5:00-6:00 PM CST at Menomonee Club Drucker Center (1535 N Dayton St)

This class ends in a sharing of selected songs and scenes for family and friends.
