After-school classes for children and teens ages 4-18

These classes are great for everyone - from the shy to the gregarious. Sessions generally last for 8-12 weeks, and culminate with a final performance for family and friends.

We are currently offering after-school classes in:

Fort Building and Dress-Up Adventures - (Ages 4-7)
Everyone loves to pretend. In Fort Building and Dress-Up Adventures, students get to rummage through the “trunk of imagination” filled with dress-up clothes - including capes, fireman hats, and silly glasses - and other materials to create forts, hiding places, and time machines. With the help of their instructor, students will create an original story each week. Dragons, mysteries, talking cars - the possibilities are limitless.

“Look Mom, I’m On T.V.!” - (Ages 8-11)
There’s only one thing more fun than watching T.V. - being on T.V. In Cake Improv’s hour-long weekly extravaganza, students create their own original characters and episodes from American Idol, game shows, adventure cartoons, cook-offs, and even infomercials. It’s an afternoon of fun - without commercial breaks.

Who’s Line? - (Ages 9-13)
Have you ever watched “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” and wondered how they did it? Each week, students will be introduced to the hilarious world of improv games, playing such favorites as Party Quirks, Stand-Sit-Sleep, and World’s Worst. Think on your feet, work as a team, and make your friends laugh all afternoon.

Writer’s Workshop - (Ages 11-18)
Using improv, students write and develop their own sketches, stories, and plays. They generate ideas on stage, create unique characters, and ultimately produce their own shows complete with staging, sets, costumes, and brilliant performances!

Team Teen - (Ages 11-18)
So, you want to be on Saturday Night Live? Many of the greats started by doing “longform” or scene-based improv. Students focus on the building blocks of comedy including finding the specific comedic idea of each scene, building a group mind, agreement and commitment. They’ll create a spontaneous performance that no one will believe was made up.
