Musical Improv Level 3

The Wiggle Room 3874 St Laurent Blvd, Montreal

In Musical Improv Level 3, you’ll put all the pieces together to build long-form, narrative musicals. You’ll learn how to improvise a complete musical theatre comedy show with a linear story structure, using all the skills you’ve developed so far. We will strengthen your scene work, expand your musical repertoire with new song styles, and learn how to tie every element together. The class culminates in a final, improvised mini-musical performance presented to an audience. A second act will follow: an audience jam where people can sign up to play with you on stage!
