Jekyll and Hyde with Alexis Simpson

Jekyll and Hyde is a special two-part workshop offered by PHIT Artistic Director Alexis Simpson over the course of one day, you are encouraged to enroll in both workshops - but can chose one over another. Both are listed below.

WORKSHOP "Jekyll": You love improvisation, but you're not sure you are getting the most out of every scene? What am I doing right? What am I doing wrong? What is my director/coach/teacher/best friend not telling me? Alexis Simpson, loving spirit, will offer firm but gentle feedback that is specifically targeted for you and you alone. True strength comes from knowing your weaknessess.

Dates: Saturday, July 18, 2009
Time: 11am-2pm
Location: The Shubin Theatre, 407 Bainbridge Street, Philly, PA 19147
Instructor: Alexis Simpson (bio)
Cost: $35 until 7/11/2009, $50 afterwards

WORKSHOP "Hyde": Your improv is awful. Everyone is bored. Stop it; stop it right now. It isn't your fault that all your other teachers and all your other directors are too nice to tell you that your worst fears are true: YOU AREN'T FUNNY. Worse, YOU AREN'T EVEN INTERESTING. Alexis Simpson will fix that. You will come to this workshop on time. You will do bad scenes. Alexis Simpson, total jerk, will bark mean things that are only mean because they are true. You may cry, which you deserve. So come do your shitty improv so that Alexis can fix it. CAN YOU HANDLE IT?
