We will play games for Char acter and Narrative and learn scenarios to hang the improvisation on. No m emorization required\, just a willingness to say “Yes!” and have fun. \n  \n  \nCLASS INFORMATION  \n3-Sessions \nTuesday Evenings\, Septembe r 15\, 22 & 29 | 6:30 – 8:30PM\n$90/person\nAge 18+ \n\n  \nABOUT OUR E DUCATOR \nMichael Charrois is a professional actor (UBCP/Actra and Equity) with over 30 years of teaching experience.
