Experience the transformative nature of group play. Cheryl draws on Viola Spolin’s theater game tradition, using techniques she learned working with Gary Austin (LA, Groundlings) and Michael Gellman (Chicago, Second City).

Have fun with original exercises that guide you in this experience of pure spontaneity, creativity, and collaboration. Learn to trust your impulses, to find ease in not knowing, and to collaborate with others in the creation of moment-to-moment theater pieces.
