Due to all everything going on, this class has been cancelled. Look for another class coming up in July, 2020
Do you want to be funnier? Have more fun? Be more spontaneous? Be more open in communication? Or maybe even get over your fears of getting up and talking in front of a room full of people?
Do you want to learn a new skill that can help you in every area of your life where you communicate with other human beings (and perhaps the occasional non-human)?
Or, do you have secret (or not so secret) aspirations of joining us as a future member of Occasionally Hilarious?
These and all your wildest dreams can come true… In Improv 101!
Lincoln, Nebraska’s BEST improv comedy and performance class is ALSO where Occasionally Hilarious came together.
You’ll find a warm, welcoming environment where you get to learn and practice improv games, acting, and comedy with a group of peers who are going through it with you.
Improv 101 is once again being offered as a continuing education course from Southeast Community College, starting April 6, 2020.
Our fearless founder, Tim Mittan-Thompson teaches the class. In it, you’ll learn the fundamentals of improv. Plus, you’ll have ample opportunity to practice and play in a safe and welcoming environment.
And good news if you’re afraid of performing — you don’t have to! Once you’ve completed Improv 101, you’ll be ready — if you choose — to go on to the next level, and potential performance opportunities.
Here are the formal details:
Improv 101
Improv is spontaneous, entertaining and fun. It is the ability to create a scene (with at least one partner), spontaneously, in the moment, based on a suggestion. Join us and discover the basic rules of Improvisation; Agreement (Yes, and), Adding New and Useful Information, and Commitment to the Scene.
Improv is unique in that once you see a scene there will never be another exactly like it. Improv is different every time.
Your seasoned improvisational instructor, Tim Mittan, brings professional experience to the classroom so don’t miss this great opportunity!

April 6 – May 18, 2020, Mondays from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
