Could you be part of an improvised musical? Now’s your chance!

Starting Thursday, May 1, the next Intro to Musical Improv class for adults with Baltimore Improv Group begins at The BIG Theater! If you read that and you're curious, here's the info:

This class is perfect for shower singers, grown-up musical theater kids, karaoke lovers, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of belting out show tunes on stage. Whether you love singing in the car, miss theater from high school, or just want to try something joyful and different, this class is for you!

You’ll build songs and scenes from scratch, with classmates who are just as new (and nervous!) as you. It’s a 4-week class, plus a final showcase where you perform a completely improvised musical: villains, heroes, group numbers, and all!

The class will be on Thursdays from May 1st to May 22nd, with a showcase on Thursday, May 29th. Class time is from 6:30–9:30 pm, and the cost for the 4 weeks is $180.

You don’t have to know how—that’s what we’re here for. This class is carefully designed to help you grow. Each skill builds on the next, so you’ll go from “I don’t sing” to “wait... did I just sing a duet?” Think less “perfect pitch,” more “musical mischief”!

Lots of people who take this class have never done improv! Or haven’t sung since high school! Or are just unsure about what to expect. But now, they’re performing in shows, creating improv teams, and feeling braver in everyday life. You’ll also pick up theater skills like projecting your voice, owning your space on stage, and engaging your audience.

Why this class? Why now?

Whether you want to become a better performer, boost your confidence, or just have fun, musical improv can change your life! It helps you get out of your head, be more playful, and surprise yourself.

If this idea’s been sitting in the back of your mind for a while, this is your invitation. We’ll meet you where you are.

Meet Your Teachers

Brian and Sheree have been performing together on the long-running Baltimore Musical Improv team Bad Karaoke Experience since 2017. Both trained in improv and musical improv at Baltimore Improv Group and the Magnet Theater in NYC, where they studied the specific fairy tale-style musical format taught in this class.

Fun fact: Brian is a non-practicing classical piano major. Sheree once played Dorothy in a production of The Wizard of Oz in Ohio.
