PLEASE NOTE: This class will be conducted online through Zoom! Enrolled students will be emailed a Zoom link earlier in the evening of the event. For the best experience you should have a steady internet connection and a quiet space. The experience is best on a laptop, desktop, or large iPad - ideally you won't have the device in your hand so that you can stand up and move around and still be on camera.

COST: So that everyone might experience the joy of learning comedy, The Coalition is experimenting with the idea of a "Pay What You Can" program. For an 8 week session, a donation of $150 is suggested to secure a place in this class but $0 is a totally acceptable payment. In order to move forward, however, each individual class does need to be able to bring in enough money to pay its instructor and its share of the cost of Zoom.
