The Scene focuses on the two person scene which is the backbone of Chicago style long form improvisation. The Scene will allow you to understand Big Fork Theatre's signature style of play while also complimenting and improving their own set of skills.

In The Scene you will learn how to create interesting and entertaining two person scenes from nothing, with a focus on relationships. The Scene will involve personal feedback and side coaching from your teacher to take your improvisation to the next level.
