  Jami Steele-Sprankle has directed and performed with improv troupes in Los Angeles, CA, South Florida and Columbia, SC.  She learned from teachers schooled by Second City, Comedysportz, and The Groundlings.  

  Join Jami to learn the techniques, and exercise the muscles that lead to great theatre and indeed give you the ability to think on your feet in any situation. Learn how to really listen and create with your fellow actors. Develop characters that will become a part of your theatrical repertoire to be used again and again. We will start with the basics and work towards regular performances once the group has learned enough to work well together as a troupe.

  Students who perform with troupe and return for subsequent sessions will be given a code for discounts on future sessions. Contact the instructor jsteele@fineartscenter.org.
