Dad's Garage

Prior improv experience required.

Do Improv Good is a four-week master class exploring what makes improv truly resonate: authenticity, emotional truth, contrast, commitment, and connection. This workshop is designed for improvisers ready to move beyond simply “doing scenes” and begin fully living in them.

Through a blend of philosophy, performance theory, and practical scene work, students will examine how honest reactions, grounded choices, and meaningful relationships create compelling improvisation. Expect a class environment that is playful, challenging, reflective, and deeply collaborative.

Led by Kevin Gillese, former Artistic Director of Dad's Garage Theatre Company and Rapid Fire Theatre, this master class draws from more than two decades of experience creating award-winning comedy across stage, film, and television.

Come ready to play, reflect, take risks, and do improv good.
