Improv might be the most challenging of the performing arts for a director to skillfully mold his cast, and this class will show you how to get the most out of your improvisers whether in a class or a rehearsal. Techniques for creating lesson plans, orchestrating rehearsals, and giving notes will be explored. Participants will be given the opportunity to apply the techniques through hands on experience directing each other, and at the end of the session there will be a Q&A to address personal concerns of the attendees.

This award-winning non-profit organization produces boundary pushing theater and offers extraordinary opportunities and educational programs that inspire and celebrate the next generation of theater artists of all abilities.

Area Stage Company (ASC), established in 1989, is an award-winning professional theatre company that stages provocative, world-class theatre productions. Founded by John and Maria Rodaz in Miami Beach, the company began as one of the pioneers of the Miami Beach arts community that surged in the 1980’s on Lincoln Road. Since its inception, ASC has presented a mix of contemporary and classic plays, world premieres, and immersive theatrical experiences, quickly “changing the perception and standards of what South Florida's theatres can and should be,” according to the Sun-Sentinel, which described the organization as “one of the most influential theatres in the region.”

In 2008, ASC moved into the beautiful Riviera Theatre in Coral Gables, a dream come true and an opportunity for the company to reinvent itself. With a reimagined mission and vision, the company established a professional-level conservatory program in addition to maintaining a full season of professional productions, concerts, and community events.

In 2020, we moved to The Shops at Sunset Place. Our new headquarters, built from the ground up for our needs, hosts state-of-the-art dance and voice studios and a black box theatre. In 2021, ASC began a new partnership with the Adrienne Arsht Center, and is looking forward to present at other venues in South Florida.

ASC aspires to provide extraordinary theatrical experiences to all audiences, to nurture the artistic talents and creative spirits of the next generation of theatre artists, and to make the in-person, collective experience of theatre accessible to everyone, including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

ASC offers world-class theatre that represents the dynamic South Florida community through professional productions, a vibrant conservatory program, and new outreach and engagement programming. With a renewed vision of unceasing growth, ASC aspires to remain a key component of Florida’s artistic and cultural growth now and in the future.

We share the art of live theater with students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Learn more about our classes, Broadway quality productions, and summer programs.
