CHICAGO IMPROV AT MTA

MTA OFFERS WORKSHOPS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ACCLAIMED CHICAGO THEATER GROUP. 

The Monticello Theater Association has partnered with Chicago Improv Productions to offer two local workshops on Saturday, April 8. During the workshops, participants will focus on developing their improvisational acting skills, a comedy method known as improv where actors make up the scenes in real-time.
 
“Improv is such a challenging and rewarding acting method, but its benefits extend far beyond the stage,” said Kelly Nowlin, past president of the MTA and improv enthusiast. “Whether you’re trying to broaden your acting skills, improve your confidence in your public speaking skills, or just practice the art of thinking on your feet, improv has proven benefits.”
 
The workshops will be led by Chicago Improv Productions and are open to all experience and skill levels – no previous acting experience required.
 
Adult workshop will be Saturday April 8th, 2017, 3-5 p.m. – Adult Improv (no experience required)
Youth workshop (grades 8-12) will be Saturday April 8th, 2017, 12:30-2:30pm
 
Workshops are $30—Class size is limited, so pre-registration is encouraged. Register Online
 
There will be a performance at 7 pm and workshop participants are encouraged to participate, but it’s not required. Admission is $5
 
“MTA is excited to bring such high-level talent to our community for this workshop,” said Nowlin. “Chicago Improv Productions is recognized as one of the top improv groups in the country. Not only do we have the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business, but we have the chance to be entertained by them, as well. I hope that our community is able to experience just how fun improv can be.”
