About the Course
Level 1 Improv Certification is a structured, 5-week evening program designed to give you a genuine foundation in improv — not just a fun night out, but real training that sticks. Each session builds on the last, and the course wraps with a live performance where you’ll put everything together in front of an audience.
The Lv1 credential is recognized across programs — complete this course and you’ll be eligible to join Level 2 classes anywhere that honors it. Whether you’re new to improv or you’ve been jamming for a while and want to sharpen your skills, this is the course that takes you to the next level.
No performance background required. All skill levels welcome.
