Mary McCusker will be back at Studio 24 on November 10th to hold improv workshops that focus on the Long Form Improv technique. Mary is a tenured professor, teaching improv at UCLA and LMU!
Improvisation is a valuable skill for both comedic and dramatic work. Most sitcom actors have come from or worked with an improv group for many years. Film directors will often have actors improvise their entire scene, whether in rehearsals or while cameras are rolling. Improv teaches you to think on your feet and be spontaneous in working with your fellow actors.
Long Form improv is an extension of improv where the focus is on creating characters. The emphasis is not about being funny but creating situations to explore truthful characters and story. We will focus on exercises that explore the Long Form technique.

"I had a dream to make a career out of acting and through Studio 24 that dream is being realized. Since signing with Studio 24 in Sacramento I’ve signed with a major agent out of San Francisco, auditioned for Levi’s, Harley Davidson, and Disney, and booked the lead role in a feature film, which I’m currently working on. Without the dedication, professionalism, and reputation that Studio 24 possesses I would have been left with just a dream."
"Getting started at Studio 24 has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the very first inquiry on classes, to getting headshots done, to pep talks over the phone, through email and in person, Cody, Jaime and Kyler have been so incredibly instrumental in this journey in entertainment. The level of kindness, professionalism, knowledge and integrity make Studio 24 one of the elite places to discover and/or develop your craft. The culture and community of talent is wonderful and I can't rant and rave enough about how thankful I am for this experience. I am a firm believer that with the correct support system, any and all of your dreams will come true. Studio 24 continues to be an integral part of my support system. Whether you want to break into the industry, or just want to get comfortable with speaking in front of people, Studio 24 is the place to go. See you on the red carpet!"
