Due to COVID-19 and the temporary closure of our spaces, we are offering online remote classes via Zoom taught by a live instructor.

In-person classes take place at The PIT Loft, Global Comedy Studios, or Cre8ive Studios.

You do not have to be based in NYC to take our zoom classes! We connect and teach students from all over the world. All you need is a stable internet connection and the device you’re using to read this web page.

Multiple session classes can range anywhere between 2-8 classes running 1-3 hours in length, depending on the class. Multiple session classes might also have grad shows. Grad shows provide students the opportunity to perform what they have been working on in class with their friends, family and peers.

Single session classes are one day only. They can range anywhere between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the class.

In-Person Drop-in’s are single session classes that run for a total of 2 hours.

*All remote classes require students to have ZOOM in order to participate.
*Depending on overall class size, the overall session time may be cut shorter at the discretion of the instructor.
