Class Description

What is the form? That is the question. In this eight week class the instructor will develop a new long form structure, inspired by YOU (the students.) This new form will serve as the basis of a show to be performed in a three week run on the main-stage at the Magnet Theater. Prerequisite: Magnet Improv Level 3

Instructor: Peter McNerney

Peter McNerney is a performer and head of the Conservatory Program at the Magnet Theater in New York City and currently performers with Nick Kanellis in the improv duo Trike which The New York Times call "reliably one of the best improv performances in the city."

Peter also serves as the Associate Artistic Director and Casting Director for the nationally respected education and media company The Story Pirates with whom he co-hosts the Story Pirates Podcast.
