The Brave New Workshop Student Union

Improvisation, sketch comedy and comedic performance classes from the country's longest running satirical comedy theatre -- The Brave New Workshop. We have classes available for everyone who wants to learn the art of improvisation and sketch comedy (any age, any experience, any time). Our Everyday improv classes start monthly and are geared for those who are new to the art form and want to try something new, build confidence, or just get out of the house once a week. Our Performance track is for those with previous experience and who want to learn improvisation for performance on stage. Currently our performance students are featured in our weekly Friday show, "Stage Match," at the BNW ETC Theatre at 824 Hennepin.

We have an extensive youth program that includes Pizza Jams, summer youth camps, and a youth performance team that rehearses weekly throughout the school year.

We use improvisation for good! We love bringing improvisation to organizations and causes. Contact us about bringing a workshop to your org or event.
