A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR CLASSES

The Harvey Lembeck Comedy Workshop has three levels of classes and is aimed at the trained actor who wishes to exercise their comedy skills. The Workshop is designed to teach an actor how to play comedy legitimately in a scene.

The Workshop uses improvisation as a tool to enhance comedic skills for scene work. It’s not stand-up, cold reading or scripted scene study. We teach situational improv. In keeping with Harvey’s belief that the more you do it, the more you "get it" our classes are structured so that students participate three or four times each class. Critiques and notes are given by the teacher only.

The levels of the Workshop’s ongoing classes are Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced. No matter what your background and credits are, we start all actors new to the Workshop in the Beginning class since you are "beginning" with us.

An interview is required for the Workshop’s classes. We prefer that all new students audit a class prior to joining to ensure that we are what the individual actor is looking for. Auditing can be arranged by contacting the Workshop.
