PROGRAM DETAILS
Living Room House Team: Coached by Dale.
Practices Saturday afternoons, 4-6pm.
The Living Room format is the next step if you enjoy premise based / Armando style improv.
A team will discuss topics, tell personal stories, and share opinions as if they were chilling in their living room, those discussions will then be used to create a premise based improv set.
The Living Room format combines storytelling, troupe collaboration, and game of the scene style premise based improv. This is a very fun and advanced format that will be challenging as well as rewarding.
Harold House Team: coached by Ramin.
Practices Monday evenings, 6:30-8:30pm.
Are you ready to master the foundational improv format that has inspired countless others? The Harold is a dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative longform structure that weaves scenic play, group games, and thematic connections into a seamless, hilarious, and unexpected journey.
As a Harold House Team member, you’ll:
* Sharpen your scene work and group mind.
* Build rich, interwoven narratives from a single suggestion.
* Play with a team dedicated to growth, chemistry, and bold choices.
The Harold isn’t just a format; it’s the backbone of modern improv
