Medina County Show Biz will provide local youth with the opportunity to participate in an intro to improv class lead by Colin Barberic. Learn to improvise confidently and constructively on stage! Theatrical improv is a foundational skill that impacts every actor in both their work and everyday life. We will emphasize practical, applicable skills in the context of fun, low-stakes improv games, exercises, and an optional final performance for family and friends. All levels of experience will benefit from this class!

Medina County Show Biz will provide local actors with the opportunity to participate in an audition workshop. Over the course of three hours, actors will meet with local artists to learn general audition information, tips and tricks, develop their resume, receive a headshot, and work with a musical director or vocal coach to pick out audition songs. Actors will walk away from the class with more confidence about auditions. They will get to talk to professionals in the Northeast Ohio theater industry and receive a look behind the audition curtain.
