His gentle, direct style of “side coaching” has proven to benefit all improvisers who’ve joined him for these “Guided Improv Scenes.” An evening’s performance where the cast of Nashville Improv will be lead through two-person scenes with David keeping you on track, showing everyone the “shiny objects,” where the scene’s heat is, where the unexpected live. All this with a live house! There’s nothing like this “open rehearsal” anywhere.

Also from March 18th – 20th David will be teaching 4 different workshops covering tons of improv skills for all actors and improvisers. Visit www.nashvilleimprov.com/workshops for more information and to sign up!
