Frequently Asked Questions

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.

*Depending on overall class size, the overall session time may be cut shorter at the discretion of the instructor.

A “Joy of” Class allows students to play at a beginner level, experiencing the “Joy of” their selected unit. We offer these classes in Improv, Acting, Stand-Up, and Sketch. They are half the commitment (3-4 weeks instead of 6-8), and do not have a Graduation Show at the end of the course, taking off the pressure of having a final performance.
