At that point in your life when you've just seen a great piece of sketch comedy, or have seen some really good improv at the Second City (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-second-city-mainstage-theatre-toronto) the Bad Dog Theatre (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/bad-dog-theatre-toronto), or Comedy Bar (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/comedy-bar-toronto), and think to yourself, "I'd like to give that a shot."
And so you should.
The Second City Training Centre is the longest standing education centre in the improvisational arts. With the backing of a successful theatre in the Second City, the training centre uses instructors and alumni of the main stage to instruct small classes of people through the very basic steps of improv. All are welcome from all walks of life for introductory courses. Several classrooms are available in the facility, allowing them to provide several sessions at once throughout the day. The level of instruction is geared towards the level of the class, ensuring that absolute beginners are not in any way pressured or feeling uncomfortable. A great way to break out of a shell and improve your communication skills. All this while pretending to paint a wall or make a pizza.
