A theatre performance workshop taught from both an improv & clown perspective.

Join John Portero (Bad Dog Theatre, SMOOCH, One Board Man) for a special three hour workshop exploring solo performance.

Playing With Patience will give participants the unique expeirence of learning core comedic and performance techniques as they improvise on stage alone.

Solo improv is an incredibly daunting experience but there are things we can use to make it more fun for ourselves and our audience.
One of those things is taking our sweet sweet sweet very sweet time to explore and choose our fun in the moment.

Discover tips and tricks that will help you become a more engaging and present performer. Perfect for improvisers, actors, comedians, clowns, and anyone who wants a challenge!

Participants will get free tickets to the solo improv show All By Myself, happening the same night at 7:30pm.
