KIDS IMPROV CLASSES - with Mr. Alrich
NEXT SESSION – FALL 2024
If interested in getting notified when slots open, just email to: info@tpnc.org
Hello! I’m Jake Alrich — known as Mr. Alrich to many in the Fairfield County area — and I am a veteran actor, singer, and arts teacher who has facilitated drama/improv workshops for over two decades.
I am thrilled to be partnering with the Town Players of New Canaan to offer “Saturday Morning Improv Jams,” weekly from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Powerhouse Theater! Players in these weekly workshops will engage with acting exercises, improvisation activities, and traditional drama games designed to release creative energy, unlock the intuitive, and allow everyone to play joyfully in a safe and supportive environment.
Our workshops occur in a relaxed environment with no expectation of performance, though many previous sessions have ended with student-driven sharing opportunities. Players hail from a variety of area schools, affording the opportunity to connect with new friends through play! These workshops are designed for children of all ages to play together but are most appropriate for ages 8-13. (Children outside this range will be considered on an individual basis.)

Limited class sizes!
Ever wanted to give acting a try? Or want to brush up on your skills with scene and monologue work? If so, this class is for you!
This class will immediately bring you into the world of character creation through monologues and scene study. Even if you’ve never acted before, we will guide you through the basics: drawing on real human interactions, natural conversational tone, and making a scene or monologue come to life.
We have fun, but we make you stretch… to act outside of your comfort zone… as that’s the real fun of acting! Being someone you aren’t, or someone you wouldn’t dare to be.
COME PLAY WITH US!
it’s time to get onstage!
If you can’t make this session, email: INFO@TPNC.ORG to be contacted for future sessions.
ALL INVITED! AGES 16 – 100+
