Physical Comedy Performance

Missed the Boat Theatre is thrilled to offer a physical comedy performance class, in anticipation of producing a farce this spring! The course will meet for 6 consecutive Wednesdays, Feb 19-March 26. We will use tips & tricks to explore the use of time, space, and physical posturing; hone comedic instincts as an actor; and create a supportive place for people to take physical risks as we share our imaginative silliness and creativity. So, come be unapologetically a fool with us!
