Resource person: Gabriel Diego Hernández

Location: Studio B | 1400 Clinton Street, Hoboken, NJ, 07030

Description:

The best improvisers are the best listeners.

In this stimulating course, students will learn, build, and sharpen the fundamentals of "Yes, and!" through group games and listening exercises to help make strong character choices while always having fun along the way.

The skills emphasized in Adult Improv will not only help on stage, but in everyday scenarios at work or elsewhere, whether it's public speaking and giving presentations, or just thinking on your feet and being confident while doing so. 

This ten-week class will culminate in a group improv performance at a special MST Comedy Night! 

Price: $400.00 Taxes waived

Notes: Class will be taught by MST alumnus John Meehan, bio below: John started his comedy journey in Los Angeles in 2011. After taking his first improv class, he was hooked and he never looked back. A graduate of Second City Hollywood Conservatory, Improv Olympic West, and Pack Theater Improv, John has trained extensively in sketch writing, TV writing, character writing, and physical performance programs. He was a sketch comedy writer and performer at Second City Hollywood for six years as part of their house ensembles, and he was on a New Forms Team at iO West called Toasty that ran for nine months. His one-man show A Shot of Courage has been produced at Solocom 2021 and 2023, at the PIT in Manhattan, at Q.E.D. Astoria, and at the Uptown Comedy Festival in Utica, NY. He was accepted into the Miami Improv Festival, the Hudson Valley Comedy Festival, and most recently appeared in the Off-Off Broadway play Airport and the Strange Package. John found Mile Square Theatre by way of being cast as an understudy in the solo physical comedy show Balloonacy in 2023 and is thrilled to be back teaching!
