Are you looking to make new friends and have lots of fun? Improv is a great way to sharpen your funny bone, and learn to go with your gut. The best part is, you don’t need any previous experience! Registration is now open for our Youth Queer-prov Program in partnership with The MacPhee Centre. This is a great opportunity for youth (11 - 19 years of age) to learn more about improv, meet new people, and have a great time!
The program will start in January 2025, taking place every other week, all the way to April. Participants will then have the opportunity to perform live on stage at OutFest, though this is not mandatory.
