Class locations

WIT is still finalizing exact locations for the fall session of class. Unless otherwise noted, most fall classes will be in the Shaw / U St. neighborhood, within walking distance of the U St. metro station.

After learning the language of improv in Foundations, now you can begin to put together killer scenes. Lay a solid foundation for your scenework by learning to make initiations with purpose, recognize the fun of your characters, and heighten their behaviors.

Class are in-person unless otherwise noted.

As of November 16, 2023, WIT no longer requires proof of vaccination plus booster shot to be uploaded at time of registration in order to participate in classes. WIT will require students to acknowledge that they have been fully vaccinated (a completed initial series plus booster shot) at time of registration, but proof will no longer be verified by WIT staff.

WIT strongly encourages students and teachers to be up-to-date with Covid-19 vaccinations in an aim to keep all members of our community safe and healthy.
