"I recommend Comedy Improv with Sharon Geller to everyone who's interested in learning how to think faster on your feet and how to be a better listener. Sharon is an amazing teacher and facilitator. She provides feedback in a way that is both instructive and encouraging. The class takes a "learning by doing" structure, and the lessons I learned are immediately applicable. The other students are amazing, too. This space selects open-minded and fun-loving people. I love acting out different scenarios with my classmates who accept my prompts as invitations to co-create something fun. After the ten-week classes, I feel more comfortable thinking on my feet and more confident in what I want to say." - Spring 2024 Student
