SUMMARY:Breaking Improv Habits with Peter Grosz
DESCRIPTION:Breaking Improv Habits with Peter Grosz\n\n\nNo matter how long you have been improvising\, you have bad habits. It could be not listening\, playing the same characters over and over\, or always letting other people initiate scenes. These habits are difficult to work on by yourself but in this workshop we will examine where you struggle and I’ll push you out of your comfort zone and get you to broaden your range as an improviser. Whether you’re a veteran feeling stuck on a plateau\, a newcomer struggling to get a handle on your performance style or anyone in between\, this is the workshop for you. \nNote: after your registration is confirmed I ask that you think of one or two bad habits and email the theater so they can pass them along to me \nBIO \nPeter Grosz began his theatrical and improv training in Chicago where he performed regularly at Improv Olympic and wrote and performed in four reviews on The Second City’s ETC stage. Films include The Menu\, Stranger Than Fiction\, Rough Night\, Things Heard and Seen and Here Today. TV credits include a recurring role as Sidney Purcell on Veep\, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\, Fleishman Is In Trouble\, Key and Peele and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Writing credits include At Home With Amy Sedaris (WGA Award)\, Late Night With Seth Meyers and The Colbert Report (Emmy\, Peabody and WGA Awards). He was also the Executive Producer of and played Mike Pence on The President Show. New York stage credits include Goodnight Oscar at the Belasco Theater on Broadway and A Kid Like Jake at Lincoln Center. He can be heard as a frequent panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me and was the guy sitting in the driver’s seat in a long running series of commercials for Sonic Drive In. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is 16+\n \nWheelchair Accessibility: Please call the host at (617) 628-4444 to let you in through the elevator in The Gorin Building.
