Join Broadway performer Andrew Purdy for a high-energy comedic acting masterclass focused on stage comedy. Through interactive games, ensemble-based exercises, and open scene work, students will explore what makes comedy land on stage; and how clarity, specificity, and bold choices turn moments into laughs.

This workshop emphasizes physicality, listening, and truthful play, drawing from Viola Spolin–based improvisation techniques and professional rehearsal practices. Students will engage in guided discussion about comedic storytelling, experiment with classic and contemporary comedy structures, and gain firsthand insight into performing at the Broadway level during a live Q&A with the instructor.

Designed for performers of all experience levels, this masterclass builds confidence, sharpens comedic instincts, and encourages actors to take joyful risks in a supportive, fast-paced environment.
