hey everyone, has anybody ever taken an improv or acting class before. I'm thinking about enrolling in a class to improve my communication skills and jump out of my comfort zone because i'm pretty shy. I also think it would be a good way to meet fun people.

anyone here ever try it? how was it?

i live in chicago so I'm trying to decide which programs are good for me (as Chicago is home to many good theatre companies and improv groups).

yep. I took an acting class during my year abroad (I went to a college in L.A.).

It was an awesome class. Great people, great teacher. We all had so much fun.
And it is really great to get over your shyness and fears. It definitely helped me. it's scary though....
