PREREQUISITE: Working As An Ensemble or Armando

Spokane is a long form format which uses a combination of a monoscene and tag edits to build a show that has space for grounded scenework and fast, funny scene runs. Whether you're learning this format for the first time or just want some more practice, this is a great format to have in your improviser's toolbox!

Maddy Benjamin is the Program Manager and Facilitator of Fun at Happier Valley Comedy. She got her start in improv in 2010 with IT: Improvisational Theater at the College of William & Mary, and joined the HVC community in 2017. Maddy is a founding member of "Not In Charge" and "2nd Saturdays Presents," and performs with several HVC casts. You'll also catch her teaching advanced improv classes and Improv 4, hosting the monthly Comedy Quiz Show on WHMP, solving the NYT crossword puzzle, and serving as the unofficial laugh track for any show or class she attends.
