In this class you’ll take a deep dive into the mother of all longform improv: The Harold.

Use the skills from 201’s “Game of the Scene” to create characters and worlds that combine to form a unified 25-minute longform improv piece. This class continues a focus on Game-driven scene work and introduces students to openings and group games. 

Pre-requisites: Enrollment in Mettlesome's 201: Game of the Scene is required for registration in this course. Contact hello<at>thisismettlesome.com with any questions.

Please read our Lab Policies before signing up for a class or workshop.
