Class Policies:
1. Students are required to see two improv shows at The Improv Space
On the first day of class, students will be given an Improv Space Student Card that allows them free admission to improv shows at TIS. Before graduating their class level, students are expected to attend at least two improv performances at The Improv Space. These shows allow students to witness improv concepts in action, and brief class discussions of these shows will help to build an improv vocabulary.
2. Attendance / Tardiness
Students are allowed two absences in the event of an emergency or scheduling conflict. If more than two class sessions are missed, the student will not be allowed to graduate onto the next level without retaking the course. Arriving to class more than 30 minutes late will be counted as an absence.
3. No refunds on or after the first day of the class. If a student must drop out of the course before the third session, the student may be offered a credit to retake the class.
