ABC Channel 10 News Coming to PB Improv Class

ABC News San Diego Logo

Get ready for your close-up, PB Improv Students!

Stephen Reusch, Chief Photographer for ABC News San Diego, is going to do a segment on our improv comedy class at the Pacific Beach Rec Center! He will be coming to observe the class with cameras rolling on November 7, 2024. Stephen is a storytelling first and foremost, and loves the story of the peforming arts community we are building in PB. Or perhaps, rebuilding is the world. PB at one time had a strong tradition of theatrical shows, including a famous hypnotist at Catamaran Resort, a hip-hop dance studio, and in the 90s a PB coffee house launched the musical career of singer Jewel Kilcher.

Students, make sure you are signed up for November classes here.

That night, please arrive a few minutes early for class if possible. Wear something you look and feel great in for class! We will run through the short form improv games that we will present for the class show., taking turns being audience and performing for each other.
