Level 1: Foundations of Improv

Anyone and everyone stands something to gain by taking a class with Washington Improv Theater. Go ahead, take the plunge.

WIT Classes Bubble

Improv for all: whether you’re a nonprofit employee, a corporate lawyer, a software engineer or a high school English teacher, you’ve got something to gain from taking Foundations of Improv.

Meet people, gain poise, build your confidence and unleash your creativity by learning the fundamental concepts of improvisation. It’s the most fun you’ll have all week.

When registering for classes, make sure it fits with your schedule. It’s okay if you miss a class but not more than two. The showcase is also not required but trust us, you will be having so much fun you won’t want to miss any of it!

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

Two and a half hours of laughter! You learn how to get silly with strangers and to grow strong ties of trust based around utter absurdity. No pressure, no mistakes, only happy accidents.

Level One student with J.C. Calcerano

It's an amazing stress reliever and an opportunity to meet awesome people. I can't say enough good things about WIT and the Level 1 class, I can't wait for Level 2 - my Tuesdays have been so sad without class!

Level One student with Macey Schiff

A main highlight of my week. There are things at improv that simply can't happen anywhere else because you're in a supportive environment with full permission to be goofy.
