This improv class is inspired by tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons to build creativity, confidence, and collaboration. Through guided scenes, character play, and group storytelling, players practice quick thinking, active listening, problem-solving, and supportive teamwork. No D&D experience is required — new players learn the basics while fans deepen their role-play skills. This class won’t focus on rules or dice, but imagination, communication, and saying “yes” to the story together.
