Level Four-Senior Project-The ClubHouse with Megan Gray
Class Description
Level Four dives deep into an advanced form (e.g. Evente, MonoScene, Deconstruction, Sleepover, Harold+, The Movie, Choose Your Own Adventure) and works on that form with the singular focus need to create a great show. In The ClubHouse we begin with a strong, relationship based scene, which then inspires a deconstruction of themes, games and ideas, and then returns to the original scene throughout the piece. It's partly character driven, partly abstract thought, all fun. The eight class sessions are followed by a three week run of shows, giving students an enhanced opportunity to learn by doing, over time, in front of a real audience.
Megan is the former Artistic Director of the Magnet Theater, a writer, performer and native New Yorker. She has performed with Second City aboard the NCL Gem and was a member of Magnet's longest running resident team "Junior Varsity." She can be seen in such notable shows as "The Armando Diaz Experience" and "The Cast" (read this NY Times article about "The Cast"). Megan also produces and hosts the monthly all-women and non-binary improv show "Hearts & Stars."
In addition to teaching Level One, Level Four: Busy Town and electives, Megan has taught improvisation at C.W. Post University, Brookdale Community College, Fairfield University, Columbia Business School and festivals and companies around the country, including work with children and seniors. She has studied improv at the Magnet and the UCB Theatre with Armando Diaz, Kevin Dorff, Christina Gausas, Dave Pasquesi, TJ Jagodowski, Jean Villepique, Joe Bill, Dave Razowsky and many others.
Megan graduated with a degree in Dramatic Writing from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and has written for Reductress, MTV2 and Comedy Central online. She has appeared on "Broad City," "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Show With David Letterman." In her spare time, she travels the world performing and teaching improv with Magnet Theater's Touring Company and teaches yoga. In conclusion, you're all doing great.
