Improv comedy is the foundation we use to explore how much we can make using nothing but our bodies and imagination. Whether you are new to improv or have been in a troupe since the dawn of Chicago, the Play Lab is a space for us to meddle with our funny.

We'll warm up our bodies and souls and do some journal prompts, interviews and scenes with each other to find a strong physicality, point of view, and world for your character - one that you have worked on before, or just discovered - to live in! We'll find the funny, and lean into and heighten that! *Imposters Comedy Night @The Winchester* <https://imposterstheater.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2b317370dae21662848945ff0&id=7f1b881261&e=8aeda9a7f9> Wednesday 07/21 Doors 7:30pm/Show 8pm $10 Cover Hosted by Michael Busch (Conan, Adam Ruins Everything) Featuring standup, sketches, and other nonsense from Kat Palardy (New Girl, Superstore) Deena Nyer Mendlowitz (This Improvised Life) Joe Briggs (Parma) Meg Martinez, Mackenzie Maguire, & Cam Godfrey (Imposters Sketch Show) Sam Dee (Mass Hysteria Festival) Jordan Euell (Into The Evening With Irwin) & more tba! *Emotion Builds Character 2-Week Workshop with Dana Quercioli (Second City Chicago)* <https://imposterstheater.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2b317370dae21662848945ff0&id=321a89fb59&e=8aeda9a7f9> Wednesdays 07/28, 08/04 7:30-9:30pm This workshop will focus on how to create real characters and connections in your improvisation. Getting to the game of the scene, committing to a premise, and better listening all come from emotional exploration and a willingness to play, and we'll learn together that humor's where the heart is. *Have questions about any of the classes, workshops, or events?
