Hysterical is our Level 4 longform improv class!

Let’s be bold & wild. Let’s be hysterical. Now that you’ve collected all these killer tools, it’s time to double down. We’ll go deeper with narrative, explore further with form, and we’ll dream up and unleash new characters we didn’t know were in there. Let’s discover together how to let our scenes and our shows get absolutely, brilliantly crazy! (Without anyone getting hurt.)

This class is 8 weeks long and ends with a graduation show on The Ruby LA stage.

Congrats! Graduates of Level 4 are eligible to audition for improv house teams at The Ruby LA improv! We hold auditions every 6 months to 1 year. Announcements for auditions are made via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and on our Newsletter.
