Peformance Series
Please keep your eye on this spot for information about the Performance Series in 2012.
About the Class
Learn what it's like to be on a long-form improv team! In this eight-week course, you will go from audition to performance, learning how to collaborate,
innovate, and take direction. The class is divided into two sections: an intensive 5-week training and format development portion, and a 3-week performance and
rehearsal process.
You'll work with the director to develop an original long-form show during the first 5 weeks of this course. Then, you will perform on the stage of Wing-It Productions for a 3-week engagement, attending "pick-up" rehearsals in between performances so that you can continue to refine your format and receive notes from your director to grow as a performer.
At the end of the class, you will be a part of an improv team that has its own show, ready to perform at any location. You'll leave the program with footage from your shows that you can use to help land your next show! If you are ready to take the leap into improvisation head-first, then this class is for you!

Adina Gillett (Adina Gillett)
A friend brought Adina to see Jet City Improv, and she was hooked. She was thrilled to be welcomed into the Wing-It Productions family in
1999. She has performed in Jet City Improv, Twisted Flicks, Daytime T.V., PROJECT: B-Movie, and The Beauty Pageant. She has studied theater at UCLA, Freehold, and
Bellevue Community College. When Adina's not doing improv, she's enjoying her amazing husband Donnie and their two future improvisers Zander and Piper. When unused
pockets of time reveal themselves, she fills them with flag football, traveling to countries that require shots, and the Irish pennywhistle.
