Improv Comedy Workshop

“Think You’re Funny?!?”  Spend two weeks in Boston this summer learning the art of Improvisation.  You will work with acting and comic professionals in the Boston area.  During your stay, you will hone your skills while working in small and large groups, develop your own comic timing, develop quick wit and form an Improv Troupe.  Your troupe will perform for your fellow participants and others guests at Suffolk, and perhaps in the Greater Boston Area!  Suffolk University’s improve comedy troupe – Seriously Bent – has won the Boston Area College Improv Championships two years in a row!  No previous comedic or theatrical experience necessary.  Everyone with an open-mind and a creative spirit is welcome to participate.

Afterwards, relax on a tour through the Museum of Fine Arts, scream as you plummet on a roller coaster at Six Flags New England or indulge in some of the finest Italian pastries in Boston’s North End. It’s all included in the Improv Comedy Workshop! 

Suffolk University, founded in 1906 by Gleason L. Archer as Suffolk School of Law is now a comprehensive university located on Boston's historic Beacon Hill. With residence hall facilities on Tremont Street across from the Common and a new residence hall on Beacon Hill, the Law School building at lower Tremont Street and the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University near the Public Garden in Park Square, the university circles the mid-town public parks in our urban version of the traditional campus quadrangle.

Suffolk students and guests have access to the wealth of resources found in the downtown centers of finance, health care, commerce, government and law. Enjoy close proximity to some of the world’s top cultural and tourist attractions.
