Improv Comedy Is Often Enjoyed, But Sometimes Misunderstood
Improvisational comedy, or improv, is an exciting art form in which a group of actors work together to create scenes, stories and realities that have never existed before. Many people think, "Oh, I could never do that," but actually you do it every day!
