Students will learn to use several instant and long-term strategies for creating strong, memorable, and effective characters. They'll also learn how to inspire their scene partners and win over audiences by developing stories full of loveable, unique archetypes, all while practicing improv and theatre fundamentals. Come discover all the entertaining, creative, and fun ideas that come from strong character choices and lateral thinking with Evan Dowling! **Please note: changes have been made to these classes to improve students experience.
