Upright Citizens Brigade Improvisation and Sketch Comedy Training Center

Each master class course offered at this level is instructor-driven. Students will get to study the Harold and related performance pieces at an advanced level and will receive in-depth personal feedback about their own performance and progress as improvisers.

Students will perform in two class performances, generally held at the UCB Theatre – once halfway through the course and once at the end. Graduation is also contingent upon students seeing at least two improvised shows at the UCB Theater before the end of the course.

Class Size 16 students. IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THE REFUND POLICY FOR THESE CLASSES: THERE ARE NO REFUNDS STARTING 24 HOURS BEFORE THE FIRST SESSION (OR A FULL BUSINESS DAY FOR WEEKEND CLASSES).

You must get permission to register for this class. Please see instructions below.
