More testimonials: See how improv can help you at work and bring out your creativity.
A student raves: “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.”
COVID Safety
Class are in-person unless otherwise noted. Participants must upload proof of vaccination (including booster) against COVID-19 upon registration.
The health and safety of our students and teachers remain our top priorities at WIT.
As of May 13, 2023, classes will be categorized as either “Masks Optional” or “Masks by Survey” at the point of registration.
Masks Optional allows individuals the choice to wear masks, without mandating other students and/or teachers to do so during class.
Mask by Survey allows the class to determine whether masks are mandatory or optional via anonymous student and teacher surveys. If unanimous agreement is reached, masks will be optional. However, if even one participant opts for masks to be mandatory, the class will require the use of medical-grade masks (including surgical masks and N-95s) during sessions.
Please note that students are expected to provide their own masks in such cases, as WIT and its venue partners will not be supplying masks.
WIT reserves the right to modify these policies in response to changes in public health situations. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to prioritize health and safety in our community.
Improv for all: no matter who you are, you’ve got something to gain from taking Foundations of Improv.
Meet people, gain poise, build your confidence and explore 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!
We also have an inclusion scholarship program!
Class locations
WIT holds classes at Universalist National Memorial Church (1810 16th St NW), Latin American Youth Center (1419 Columbia Rd NW), and Sitar Arts Center (1700 Kalorama Rd NW).
