Levels 2-9
LEVEL FOUR: PERFORMING THE SCENE So you’ve decided that this improv thing is for you. The first level of our performance series is an advanced scene study class, building on the foundation you acquired in Levels One through Three and exploring advanced techniques and strategies for getting out of your own way, keeping the audience in the palm of your hand, making strong choices in games, scenes and longer formats, and recognizing the difference between genuine delight and politely muddling through. Level Four includes a strong direct feedback component. Classes run once a week (three hours) for six weeks, limit 12 students. Level Four culminates in a student showcase in the Sunday Weekender for friends and family. LEVEL FIVE: PERFORMING THE SHOW You’ve got all the building blocks of improv and now it’s time to put it all together in a run of self-directed shows. Throughout the year we offer a variety of different Level Five classes exploring different formats. Produce your own shortform show with games and scenes in Theatresports. Or try a Montage class and discover not just how to transition between connected scenes, but also WHEN and WHY. Or dabble with narrative longform in Six Degrees. Whatever…

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions Do your shows have assigned seats or are they General Admission? All of our shows are General Admission. We will start seating around 10 minutes before showtime. If you have special requirements and would like more time to be seated, or need to sit closer for vison- or hearing- related concerns, please arrive a half hour before show time and let our box office person know. We will be happy to accomodate you. Where do I park? We admit, downtown parking is difficult at times (we deal with it every day). There are several pay lots and garages close to the Hideout Theatre (we’re at 7th and Congress) and they run between $5-$10. There are pay meters that run until midnight Thursday through Saturday downtown (on which you are allowed a max time of 3 hours). We recommend patrons make time for parking when taking a trip to the Hideout Theatre. What are your age restrictions? There is no minimum age to get into the theater. You don’t have to be 18 or 21 to enjoy one of our performances. What age are your shows appropriate for? It’s improv, and different every time, so we can’t give…
