Class Description

Ready to move beyond the Fairytale and follow the fun? In this class for advanced musical improvisers, we’ll break away from prescribed forms to explore organic narratives we can confidently own as an ensemble. We’ll bring clarity and connection to our openings, scenes, songs and support, so story beats happen because of, not just after, what came before them, and endings don’t feel like puzzles to solve in the last 90 seconds of our show. If you’ve ever found yourself on the sidelines stuck in your head about what should come next, this class is for you! Prerequisite: Must have completed Magnet Musical Improv Level Three

Instructor: Sean Bartlett

Sean is an improviser, teacher, and coach who has studied improv and sketch comedy since 2013. He is eternally grateful to have found a home at the Magnet Theater, the best place in the world to be a musical improviser.

An alum of Musical Megawatt (Public Pool, Wonderland, Secret, Secret!), Sean now produces Extra Credit, a bi-monthly show that assembles one-night-only mashup teams from across the community, from fresh Level 3 grads to seasoned house team veterans and everyone in between. (Interested in performing? Visit extracreditimprov.com to sign up.)

Away from the theater, Sean performs with the improv-fueled, genre-defying musical experience known as “Big Jeans,” alongside Magnet legends James Bruffee, Brian Hansbury, and Roman Pietrs. Find them on your streaming service of choice!
