Improv Club

Attention:

Theatre Students, Drama Club members, and students of Alta High School, the Alta High School Theatre Department is proud to announce we are starting an

Improv Club!!!

Ever thought about trying your hand at comedy? Then join us for Improv Club launching in February 2015!  This club is designed designed to help you write, polish and perform a short stand-up comedy set and try all those neat skills seen on shows like “Who’s Line is it Anyway?” -- the building blocks that all stand-ups use at open-mic nights, comedy clubs, and anywhere else they might perform.

All students are free to join, whether they're hoping to be a superstar or just looking for a fun new hobby. Lots of people secretly wonder if they could ever do stand-up, and this club can offer you the skills needed to finally get you on stage! For more information please see the call board outside of the Theatre Room.  Spread the word to all your friends!!!
