CA State Thespian Festival 2026

An Actor's freedom of movement and ability to play are of the utmost importance when it comes to working professionally on stage and screen. Having Improvisation experience is a must, as it curates strong choices and commitment to the work- but what about trusting our Improv? Join Katie Reeves Northlich as she guides you through the vulnerability and exploration of Improv basics: the art of play, making big choices in the moment, facing fear of Improv in front of others, and the freedom to be yourself in the moment. Through warmups and exercises, Katie will guide you to trusting the most essential part of your craft: your authenticity!
