Composed of New York City's best and brightest comedians and improvisers, The Improv School is dedicated to bringing character education, important life skills and entertainment to students of all ages through the art of improvisational theatre.

"We needed an assembly that would fit...as well as be entertaining. Arts Horizons suggested an Improvisational assembly that would engage the students and be fun at the same time. The students absolutely loved it, they laughed from beginning to end. It was a pleasure to deal with Arts Horizons and the very talented young actors."
Patrice Carrieri, President Pearl River Middle School P.T.A.

The 5W's of Story

Through this exciting and interactive improv comedy show, The Improv School teaches “The 5 W’s of Story” and how to utilize them to understand the stories they encounter each and every day. Students are called upon to help build each improv scene with their own 5 W’s ideas and are even invited to improvise with the cast on stage!

The Improv School’s Character Education Programming

• The Bullying Stops Here!
• You’re Only Cheating Yourself!
• Peer Pressure: You’re In Charge Of You!
  
  Part show, part workshop, The Improv School brings character education to your school with assembly programs on Bullying, Cheating and Peer Pressure. Students watch and learn from the scripted elements of each show and then participate in conflict resolution improv scenes to foster a greater understanding on what to do if they find themselves in these situations.
