Classes every Monday October 26th to December 7th from 7:00-9:30pm.
The course will culminate in a student show on Saturday, December 12th (exact time to be determined).

INSTRUCTOR: Jess Bowers has been performing in the triangle improv scene for the last 14 years. At Mettlesome Theater he has been on house teams including House Party and The Setup.
