Join us for an Armando form improv class with instructor Patrick Rowland, culminating in a class showcase! If you're looking for a long-form improv comedy master class in Sacramento, this is the class for you!
ABOUT the ARMANDO:
The Armando is a form that originated in Chicago where improvisers create scenes based on personal monologues, but it goes deeper than that. In this workshop, Patrick will break down the Armando form and how you as a player can take your performance and monologues to another level. Patrick performed with the "Armando Diaz Experience Theatrical Movement and Hootenanny" for years at iO Chicago, where it originated.
WHERE:
WJ Geery Theatre, 2130 L St, Sacramento, CA 95816
