Experience
Improv training is a useful complement to traditional acting work - kids who do both gain spontaneity and ensemble skills that scripted-theatre-only training tends to underdevelop. The performance pipeline (classroom to public stage) provides clear progression for teens who want to test their skills in front of audiences.
