 The Harold is an unstructured Long-Form improv format where a single word or theme inspires a collage of improvised scenes, games, monologues and songs.  This workshop will give you an introduction to this exciting format which relies upon building a strong ensemble, a willingness to take risks and an exploration of spontaneity. 

 
In Laura's words:
"I love the Harold because it terrified me and then it blew open my improv world.  There is an absolute freedom to do any kind of improv work, both light and deep; to be completely spontaneous, with no wrong answers, and have the audience follow you every step of the way.  It wasn't until I did the Harold that I felt like I could do anything as an improviser."
