Mary McCusker will be back at Studio 24 on August 25th to hold improv workshops that focus on the Long Form Improv technique. Mary is a tenured professor, teaching improv at UCLA and LMU!
Improvisation is a valuable skill for both comedic and dramatic work. Most sitcom actors have come from or worked with an improv group for many years. Film directors will often have actors improvise their entire scene, whether in rehearsals or while cameras are rolling. Improv teaches you to think on your feet and be spontaneous in working with your fellow actors.
Long Form improv is an extension of improv where the focus is on creating characters. The emphasis is not about being funny but creating situations to explore truthful characters and story. We will focus on exercises that explore the Long Form technique.

"I had a dream to make a career out of acting and through Studio 24 that dream is being realized. Since signing with Studio 24 in Sacramento I’ve signed with a major agent out of San Francisco, auditioned for Levi’s, Harley Davidson, and Disney, and booked the lead role in a feature film, which I’m currently working on. Without the dedication, professionalism, and reputation that Studio 24 possesses I would have been left with just a dream."
"Cody really knows the business and utilizes this knowledge to push his clients and students to be BETTER than the best they can be. Cody knows that it is one thing to be a fantastic actor in the Sacramento market, but he goes several steps further to ensure that each of his students can be the best in the LA market as well. I have grown so much as an actor through Cody's coaching that I truly believe that the moment I decide to hit the LA market, I will be ready to tackle any challenge that comes my way."
