FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
How long are the workshops?
Unless otherwise stated, workshops last 2.5hrs.
Do I need improv experience to enroll in one of your workshops?
Great question, thanks for asking! The answer is NO, you do not need any experience. In fact, many of our students started our workshops without having any improv or acting background. It is NOT required. The only exception being for our advanced classes (in which case, yes, you would need improv experience).
If I have improv experience, but have not taken a workshop with Improv Playground, can I Join the Advanced Course?
The short answer is “Yes. Maybe. Possibly. It depends.” Advanced classes require a certain level of experience and mutually shared guidelines between the students. If you have never taken an Improv Playground course before, we ask that you contact us so we can chat briefly and make sure we match you with the right class fit.
Do any of your workshops have a performance at the end?
Some of the “Advanced” courses are geared towards a performance at the end. These workshops consist of students who have specifically expressed a desire to perform. But the majority of the workshops are not necessarily geared towards performance.
Do you ever hold workshops that run for less than 4 weeks?
Yes, on occasion we offer drop-in workshops that run for one evening or one afternoon.
Is there an age limit for the workshops?
Unless, it is specifically marked as a teen or youth class, the workshops are open to adults 18 and up. We sometimes make exceptions for young adults as young as 16yrs of age if they display exceptional maturity. In such case, they will need approval from the workshop facilitator.
What do you recommend I wear to the workshop?
Whatever you feel comfortable in. Keep in mind you will be moving around, playing, standing, sitting, and laughing a lot. It’s a very social environment, so please wear clothes that you are comfortable being silly in.

FEELING NERVOUS
I’m not very good at improv and the thought of it makes me scared. Is this the right course for me?
We totally get it. It can be nerve-wracking to try something new like this. Keeping this in mind, we take great care in making sure this is a safe, non-judgmental space, where it is okay to make mistakes and be silly.
Do I need improv experience to enroll?
You do not need any experience to enroll. If it’s your first time, we recommend you registering in either one of our beginner workshops or one of our All-Level workshops. Please also review the “About the Workshops” FAQs for details.

ENROLLMENT, REGISTRATION, MISSING CLASSES & REFUNDS
Do you offer refunds?
All sales are final. That said, we guarantee you will have an amazing experience and lots of fun.
I registered for a workshop, but can’t make it because of an emergency, can I get a refund?
While all sales are final, we can definitely discuss extending you a voucher for a different workshop in the future. Please contact us to discuss.
Can I make up a class, if I miss one?
Great question. At this time, because class sizes are limited and kept at a specific capacity level to ensure the optimum experience for students, we do not offer make-up classes due to student absence.
If I know in advance that I will be out of town and can only make 3 of the 4 class dates, can I still enroll?
Another great question! That is up to you. But the short answer is yes, you can still enroll. If you will miss more than one class, however, we would ask that you consider holding off from taking the class until a later time when your scheduling better aligns with ours :)
