Come sing, dance, act and most importantly have fun! Lots of laughing is encouraged! You just might discover a talent you didn't know you had!

He also works with Inside Broadway, going into NYC public schools and directing musical performances.

Improv Class For Adults with Andrew Morrisey
August 10-13 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM| $150 + HST
Two summers ago - after several parents of theatre camp students asked enthusiastically “What about improv classes for adults?!”, Andrew Morrisey decided to construct and host one of his own. The class quickly filled up! Attendees had a blast playing games, trying new things and laughing non-stop through each session. Now, the class is coming to the Marigold by popular demand!
The first three classes will focus on learning Improv 101, working with one another, creating fun scenes and exciting characters. The fourth class will culminate with a showcase for invited friends and family.
This is great for fans of “Whose Line is It Anyway?”, and for folks who are looking to try something new, step out of their comfort zone and discover more creativity within themselves. Register soon because space is limited!
Andrew Morrisey is an actor and teacher based in New York City. He has performed Off-Broadway and was recently nominated for a META for Outstanding Lead Performance in the new musical, Resurrection at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal. He operates a busy voice studio with students of all ages that range from industry professionals to karaoke enthusiasts. This summer, he will lead seven weeks of theatre camps for young actors across Nova Scotia. Andrew will conclude the summer with his 19th summer back at the Marigold.
