Improv Workshop - Comfort Zone: Loving and Leaving It!
Reviewed by Allison on 9/1/2014
Class was amazing. I had a great time. It was my very first improv class and James guided the class, for the beginners as well, from start to finish seamlessly. I felt nervous but comfortable with the exercises. I wish he offered classes more frequently. Definitely recommend it and I will definitely take it again.
