Laugh and learn new skills at Improv 101 — Say Yes! with Regina Millis.

An unscripted and unplanned performance might sound daunting at first, but Improv is a time-honored theatrical tradition with roots back to 391 B.C. Offstage, the form’s spontaneous nature is a proven tool in situations requiring creative solutions, the development of new communication skills, stress management, and more. On top of all that, it is just plain fun!

The class will consist of 4 weekly sessions with warm-up exercises, word games, body work, and scenarios with the intention of working toward an optional performance on week 5.

The class is open to all skill levels, ages 15 to 101.

Regina Millis is a North Shore native with over 30 years of theater experience. In addition to writing stage plays, performing stand-up, and costuming, her credits include: Comic Improv at UUCGL Church Marblehead (ongoing); Director / Instructor of Theater Games @ YMCA Marblehead; Assistant Intern Director at King Richards Faire;  Actor in  Pirates of Pickering Wharf, Scurvy Dogs, Salem; and Production Designer / Actor with Stonehenge Productions, Boston.

Class is limited to 10 students.
