Tuesdays with Urban Improv

The response to this offering has been overwhelming! All tours scheduled to work with Urban Improv are booked! Please contact us to explore other times to visit.

URBAN IMPROV is an interactive program for young people that uses improvisational theater to teach violence prevention, conflict resolution, and decision-making. On selected Tuesdays, from February 12th - May 13th, at 11:00 am, schools are invited to participate in a workshop before or after your tours. The workshops are based on scenes that directly relate to the themes of the Choosing to Participate exhibition: empathy, respect, and civic engagement.
