Get a taste of Improv! Join Spotlight Arts for a Free Improv Day on Thursday, March 5th! This free trial of our improv class takes place from 5:30-6:30pm at the Studio Around the Corner 67 Main Street Suite 101 in Brewster, located at the rear entrance to the Southeast Museum. Instructor James Hussey will be teaching this class. Improv is a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment. Often improvisers will take a suggestion from the audience, or draw on some other source of inspiration to get started. Ages 7 to 18 are welcome to attend but they must be registered in advance in order to participate.
