Specialty Workshops

In addition to our standard 6-week level classes, The Hideout likes to host specialty workshops on specific topics that will add some great skills to your improv tool belt.

These can range from intensives with world-renowned instructors from out of town to one-off sessions with local teachers showing you some of their unique expertise. They’re a great way to work on very specialized skills in a short amount of time.

Here’s what we have coming up:

Sat. June 6th

Thu. June 11th

Fri. June 12th

Mon. June 29th

Deep Spacework
Sat. Jun 6th, 2026    
12:00 pm (CDT)-2:00 pm (CDT)
$29.00 – $45.00
We will delve into tips and techniques you can put into your tool belt for creating convincing and consistent space work that will give a boost to your performance.
Intuitive Scenework Workshop
Thu. Jun 11th, 2026-Thu. Jul 16th, 2026    
7:00 pm (CDT)-9:00 pm (CDT)
$185.00 – $220.00
Designed to liberate you from the pressure of inventing, plotting, and rushing to find the game, this diagnostic-style workshop invites you to stop analyzing and start feeling. Through extended two or three person scenes with slower pacing, we will explore listening deeply, committing to authentic character work, and discovering what the scene is asking of us. Students should expect personalized feedback, real-time coaching, and some scenework that is more dramatic than comedic (but the funny will find us – don’t worry).
Storytelling Workshop
Fri. Jun 12th, 2026-Fri. Jul 17th, 2026    
7:00 pm (CDT)-9:30 pm (CDT)
$230.00 – $265.00
Whether you already love being onstage, or break into a cold sweat every time a group of people turns to look at you— storytelling is a learnable skill. This class is designed for seasoned improvisers, nervous public speakers, people in client-facing jobs, chronic over-explainers, people with incredible lives who don’t know how to talk about them yet, and anyone who secretly worries they’re fundamentally uncharismatic. In other words: everybody.
Improvised Song Structure
Mon. Jun 29th, 2026-Mon. Aug 3rd, 2026    
7:00 pm (CDT)-9:30 pm (CDT)
$250.00 – $290.00
If you’ve ever wanted to peak behind the curtain of how musical improv and creating songs works at its core, and how structure and teamwork create songs that slap, this is the class for you!
