Why Take Script and Improv?
Why take both classes? Think of your favorite actors in movies or TV, they are able to deliver scripted lines that look, sound and feel spontaneous or improvised. And we believe the highest quality improv performers look sound and feel as if they had memorized and rehearsed a great script.
Why in its simplest form: Good scripted acting looks, sounds and feels like Improv and good Improv looks, sounds and feels like scripted material.
