The Harold | Taught by Adam Archer | Wednesday (Oct 7 - Oct 21 + show Oct 29 from 6-9 PM)

$200.00

Come join this fast-paced intensive designed to demystify the Harold while preserving the magic that has made it one of improv's most celebrated long-form formats. Rather than treating the Harold as a rigid set of rules, we'll explore it as a flexible framework for discovery, collaboration, and authentic play. We'll focus on creating memorable characters and building meaningful relationships that allow the format to become a tool for exploration rather than a checklist to follow. We'll approach the Harold as a format that rewards curiosity, trust, and commitment, allowing connections to emerge naturally through ensemble play rather than by forcing the structure.
