EDUCATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Crossroads Comedy Theater’s core education program includes Longform Improv, Musical Improv, Sketch Comedy Writing, Stand-up Comedy with new skills and courses always on the horizon. We invite the best instructors in the area to guide you through each course in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.
We also welcome guest instructors from Indianapolis’ thriving arts scene and beyond to offer courses that supplement our core programs to strengthen the skills and stretch the muscles of our students.
At Crossroads Comedy Theater Indianapolis you can study a variety of disciplines, because we believe that learning one art can both supplement and complement the skills you gain from another. Improv can help you think faster on your feet as a stand-up comedian or allow you to approach writing from a new direction, comedy writing can strengthen your skills as a stand-up and help you think more narratively on the fly in an improv scene, and so on. Studying with Crossroads Comedy Theater can help you become the best, most well rounded improviser, writer, stand-up, or hobbyist that you can be.
You do not need to have performance aspirations to benefit from our courses. The lessons learned at Crossroads go beyond the stage and page to benefit you in your everyday life and work. We can help you improve communication skills, build self-confidence, embrace collaboration, be more positive, think faster on your feet, break out of your shell, meet new people, and have more fun!
For those that are in this for performance opportunities, know that many from our education programs have gone on to perform in or write for shows with Crossroads as well as with other theatre companies and groups/teams around town. Our students are regulars at area auditions and stand-outs in the process. They have brightened the stages by using the skills they’ve learned in our classes to be cast on a wide variety of teams and productions.
Whether you are an experienced performer looking to challenge yourself, an actor looking to expand your skill set, someone looking to step out of their comfort zone and meet new people, or a nine to fiver looking for some play time, we got you covered!
