OSLT is excited to announce a 6 session improv workshop!
Learn the art of improvisation and tap into your intuitively funny nature. More than just fun and entertaining, improvisational skills help build your confidence in working without a script and will positively impact your ability to work well with others. Discover what it takes to play well with others and rejuvenate your creative thinking process.

This workshop will introduce you to the fundamental concepts and exercises used by The Second City Toronto and TheatreSports. No improv or theatre experience is necessary to enjoy this workshop. Participants should be prepared to perform with, and for, your classmates.

This 6-week workshop will cover some of the basic principles of improvisation for beginners, but will also challenge experienced players with advanced scene-building exercises.

Lead by Enio Mascherin

About Hadestown: (visit https://www.mirvish.com/shows/hadestown for more information):
Anaïs Mitchell breathes fresh, new life into classic mythology with her folk musical Hadestown. Orpheus, a passionate and talented musician, and Eurydice, an independent and resilient young woman, fall in love at first sight, as though it was–and perhaps is–destined by The Fates. Though neither has much to their name, Orpheus is determined that love will see them through anything. Their love blossoms in spring and flourishes in summer, but is tested when autumn and hardship come. Hardship breeds doubt and difficult choices must be made. When Eurydice unknowingly signs away her soul to Hades, master of the factory Hadestown, Orpheus is prepared to venture to hell and back, armed with nothing but his music and his love, to bring her home once more. Set to Mitchell’s gorgeous folk-rock score, Hadestown tells a poignant, vibrant story of love that manages, even amongst tragedy, to find hope.
