Chaos Theory is broken up into three groups: 

New Timers

(Open to Grades 6-8)

Directed by Maggie Petersen

New timers focus on the basics and foundations of improv and learn a variety of shortform improv games. They end the year with an invited showcase of their skills for families and friends. No audition necessary.

Dates: 10/4 - 12/6 (No 4/22) and 1/10 - 4/24 (No 2/21 or 4/10)
