Taught by David Lee Rock, these 90 minute weekly courses teach students short form improv comedy in a fun, friendly and safe environment. Designed for 3rd graders and up, these workshops give a foundation in improvisational theatre. Improv I introduces basic techniques for maintaining focus and mental agility. Improv II expands on techniques to include characterization and maintaining storyline. Each workshop culminates in a live performance. Upon completion of Improv III, students, fully prepared, compete with the Improv Performance Team.

Tonicism's PM Session meets 1 - 5pm - This summer we are goin back to 1961 as ordinary teenager Jane Doe is drafted by the CIA to become a super-secret secret agent. Her mission? Infiltrate an American high school to locate a Russian spy about to send classified space program information to the USSR. But it's not easy being undercover, especially when your spy family consists of a femme fatale "mom," a 40-year-old "younger brother," and the most dashingly narcissistic "dad" ever. Add that to obnoxious fellow students, a blatantly chauvinistic curriculum, and the horror that is prom, and you've got a mission that might be impossible!
