    We recently produced The Improv Class as a Zoom play for Crossroads Theater Shed as part of our ten minut play festival and it was just the perfect piece for us. We have been teaching improv, so to see that aspect of the play in conjunction with the twist at the end, made it especially powerful, and great to work with. Our youth actors had a great experience working on this piece. Also the casting is flexible which is great!

    JOHN CONNON’s play, “The Improv Class”, reminded me of my own experiences as an improv performer. I found the dialogue ‘right-on’ and was ready to give a ‘thumbs-up’ for the play until - the ending blew me away! This is a really good play!

    Great characters with a great twist. Bonus for good roles for mature actors makes it an excellent little piece worth producing. I saw it at the Crossroads Theater Shed's 2020 ten minute play festival and enjoyed it!
