Westside Comedy Theater
Santa Monica improv classes with scene work, character development and student showcases, alongside a separate youth comedy program.
About Westside Comedy Theater
Westside’s training center develops improvisation through listening, collaboration and spontaneous scene building. Its curriculum moves from core principles into characters, longer scenes and long-form structures.
Students can explore the weekly drop-in before choosing a full course. Class sessions culminate in a stage showcase. Youth classes are a separate enrollment route with their own age requirements, rather than an extension of the adult course.
