Our Classes

Oakville Improv workshops are designed to develop improv skills in a positive, encouraging, and friendly environment. Our instructors are improv comedy professionals (yes, there are such things!) who have produced improv for stage and television. Our classes do not require any prior experience in improv or acting.

This was my first acting class ever.  When I finally decided to tackle it head on, and go after what I really want in life, I ended up in a class full of people who had fun and gave me confidence and belief that I could accomplish whatever it is I put my mind to.

COVID UPDATE:

We continue to encourage our members and students to mask when necessary, get your vaccinations up to date, and do not arrive at classes or show with active symptoms of any virus for the sake of others. 

Adult workshops

Our Adult Workshops are designed for adults who are looking to build the skills to perform in our shows – or who just want to build their presentation skills or confidence. It’s a fun activity for couples, and a great way to make new friends.

Kids Workshops (8–10 and 11–13 years)

Check out our Kids Workshops. Improv is a wonderful way to build confidence, overcome social anxieties, and provide an outlet for naturally funny kids.

Teen Workshops

We also offer Teen Workshops. Classes available based on numbers. If you’re interested in participating in a teen class let us know at amy@oakvilleimprov.com

How long does it take?

Each workshop session consists of 16 – 20 hours of instruction – this is usually divided over eight classes of 2.5 hours for adults, and two hour classes for Teens and Youth.

We joined up because I thought it would be a fun birthday present for my husband, and it ended up being something we both love doing together.
