The OT Drop-In

Mike OT is back at the FA! And he’s here to work on practical skills that get you back to good scene work. The OT drop in focuses on ‘Strong Choices’ that help your long form scene, whatever its goal.

As we all know, there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ choices in improv. But there are choices that are more profitable and efficient than others. Let’s call those choices ‘Strong Choices.’ Strong Choices are valuable to Game play. They’re valuable to Harold. They’re valuable in your Improv Jam.

Come play with Mike, who will give valuable, honest feedback and run instructive exercises that will help you make stronger choices.
