I went to my first drop-in class this summer with no improv experience. I thought it would be embarrassing to go try to learn around a bunch of people who are involved in theater, film & improv. But they accepted me immediately & I look forward to it so much now. Paul is a phenomenal instructor & the performers at SET make me laugh all night. They even let us novices go up as the 1st troupe occasionally at SET. And it is always a blast, even when we suck! Definitely try it. It's a unique & liberating experience with so many talented people you can't help but learn too.
