In this advanced workshop you’ll learn the fundamentals of improvising with puppets, develop a half-dozen different puppet personalities informed by techniques from commercial voice-acting, and do full-length improvised scenes taking advantage of all the ways only puppets can improvise!

Masks are required (the puppets will do the emoting!). Hand sanitizer will be provided!

Prerequisites: This workshop may be challenging for those without significant improv experience. Students should have completed all levels of an improv theater, and it’s suggested you have at least 1 year of experience improvising.

Reserve your spot ASAP: max class size is 12 students!

The Coach

Adrian Vazquez is a founding member of the All Out Comedy Main Stage Cast, and has been coaching improvisers since 2006. In 2018, he piloted All Out Comedy’s monthly improvised not-for-kids puppet show “The Felt Experiment” which drew substantial and enthusiastic audiences until he and the puppets were driven indoors to do music videos about the Pandemic.
