Bring together the full range of your Conservatory training in this advanced, performance-centered ensemble experience. Students develop original material through improvisation, refine recurring characters and comedic premises, and explore how scenes, sketches, narrative, music, and established improv forms can be shaped into a cohesive live production. With an emphasis on collaboration, adaptability, stage presence, and professional performance practices, students rehearse and refine material while learning how to make strong creative choices before a live audience. The course also addresses the practical demands of performance, including pacing, transitions, entrances and exits, supporting fellow players, recovering from unexpected moments, and sustaining the energy of a complete show. Level 204 culminates in a fully developed Conservatory showcase or comedy revue presented for a live audience. Students completing Level 204 may be considered for select Improv Playhouse auditions, house teams, productions, and continuing performance opportunities based on performance readiness, professionalism, ensemble commitment, and the needs of each project.
