IFTP Improv Camps: a weekend for creatives

Since 2008, Improv for the People in Los Angeles has been a leader in the study and practice of improvisation at our theater. Our belief is that this art form is great for everyone to learn and that’s where we get our name. Improv makes us better listeners, communicators, collaborators, and people. IFTP is a supportive and encouraging studio whether on stage in Los Angeles or in the woods during camp. Come be a part!
