Your CPCA will be offering a new improv class for youth and kids in partnership with Blackbox Academy . This short course will run for 4 weeks on Wednesdays (Sept 17, Sept 24, Oct 1, Oct 8) at First Mennonite Church (dining area) – 418 Queen St at a cost of $50.

Ages 5-7: 4:30pm – 5:15pm
Ages 8-11: 5:30-6:15pm
Ages 12-15: 6:30-7:15pm

In this 4 week improvisation workshop for youth, students will explore the fundamentals of improv, acting, and the performing arts. This will lead to a final showcase on the last day of class where the kids will have the opportunity to show off their new skills.

For more information on registration, visit our Programs page. For any questions about the improv class, please contact us at cityparkcommunity@gmail.com

Blackbox Academy’s improvisation classes give kids an opportunity to explore the performing arts in a fun, safe, and engaging way.
Improvisation, by nature, is a practice of building confidence, developing social skills, and solving problems.
Kids get to be kids, let loose, and learn as a byproduct of what they do best – play.
