If laughter is the best medicine, you’ll feel terrific after attending this comedy and improvisation workshop. No performing experience is necessary; just come prepared to get on your feet and play theatre games like Zip, Zap, Zop; What Are You Doing?; Fortunately/Unfortunately; Questions Only, and many more. You’ll find that this is a very non-competitive environment with no winners and losers; our goal is to be supportive of each other and appreciate the contributions of each participant. This class, taught by Central Florida Community Arts Teaching Artist Chris Hicks, comes with a guarantee of having a good time, so sign up and come join in on the fun!

Program note: This program is open to those who attended our first session in June, as well as new attendees.

This program is presented by Chris Hicks and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
