The Second City Hollywood Brings Comedy Classes Back to Las Vegas
Legendary comedy institution and training ground The Second City will return to Las Vegas after an eleven-year hiatus to host the first in a series of three-day intensive improvisation workshops. The class, which will be taught by Second City Training Center faculty, will be held at Springs Preserve in association with Golden Rainbow on November 22 through November 24.
The Improv 1 workshop will cover The Second City’s world-famous improv curriculum and teach students basic improv building blocks through short-form improv exercises and games. More than an avenue to a career in comedy, improv helps develop strong ensemble skills, patience, self-confidence, and communication skills.
