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.

One of the cornerstones of improv is discovering the game of the scene. Learn to become a more active listener so you, along with your scene partner, can recognize the fun of a scene together. Sustain longer scenes by establishing patterns by keeping the focus on heightening the game. This tool will help you explore the world you’ve created and add more depth to your performance.

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.
