Now in partnership with the legendary Chicago improv theater, and the birthplace of ​longform improv, The iO! Theater!


This 12 session course provides students with a deep dive into the world of improv. Built to ​support the development of new and experienced improvisers alike, this conservatory ​program is designed to build a community of improvisers committed to achieving their highest ​potential in the art form. Starting this season, we’ll also be bringing some of the best ​improvisers in the world out from Chicago’s iO! Theater to perform, and teach a workshop for ​conservatory students. Both a ticket to the show and the workshop are included with the cost ​of conservatory.


Sessions are held Mondays or Thursdays

from 6:00 - 9:00 PM at Willow Creek Theatre Company.
