There’s just under one week left to take advantage of ColdTowne Theater’s annual holiday sale (aka the Holiday Class Pass!). $99 buys you or your loved one an eight week improv experience (over 50% off), along with a tee shirt and a printable gift certificate to stick under the tree, along with the knowledge that you didn’t phone in your gift this year!
Check out what some of our students have to say about their level 1 improv experiences!
“A little over a year ago, I was hanging with a new friend who happened to be an improviser. She insisted that I’d like improv and should take classes. A few days later, she texted me the link to the baller $99 holiday special.Santa/my mom gives me a $100 limit for Christmas presents these days, so I swiftly forwarded said link to The North Pole.
Cut to today as I’m writing this during my Sunday night intern shift at the Coldtowne box office. I’m currently in my second level of classes, my level two showcase is in two days, and I’m pumped to start level 3 in January.
If you’re considering taking classes, do it. Really. I find myself feeling more focused, challenged, and present than really any other activity I’ve tried recently. Well, maybe spin class, but I know better than to try to convince a bunch of strangers to start spinning. So try it out! Buy one for a friend! And if they/you don’t dig it, you can get your money back in approximately 48 business hours.”

“I received the Holiday Pass as a Christmas gift last year from my girlfriend. I always talked about taking improv classes but never committed, and this gift was the kickstart I needed. It was terrifying at first, but as I grew trust in the process and trust everyone in class, that terrifying feeling was quickly squashed by an overwhelming feeling of love.
One class in particular sticks with me. I was having an anxiety spell and almost walked out of class. I just reminded myself to trust what was going on and to calm down. I ended up not leaving class and having a great day in class. Haven’t missed a class yet!
I am currently in Level 4 and my class consists of the same great group of people I started this journey with. We are not performing outside of the class shows, but we have started the process of getting more involved with getting stage time.
If there is one thing I can take away from all of this, it’s that the ColdTowne community is so welcoming. I currently intern at the theater and I’ve met so many awesome people in the process.”

“At the time I got the holiday pass, I was getting a bit bored and wanted to take up a new hobby. I had taken a few classes and felt bored with them, and then my friend suggested improv. He took it up at Dallas Comedy House and loved it. So I started looking into classes here.
My experience in level one was amazing. It felt weird at first, but it was structured in a way that it eases you into being comfortable. I felt a good and safe connection with my class instantly (which basically went on to be the Loverboy we all know and love). To me, being in this class started to help me realize what I was really missing out on in my life, and why I had been getting bored. This class made me realize oh god I miss doing creative things.
I am still performing, and now I have a few troupes that play regularly and a sketch show that has a monthly slot. What I got out of the experience is more than I ever could have imagined. I was rock climbing for a few months and thought, “Oh, this community is friendly and supportive.” But the improv community is 20x as supportive. I’ve made hundreds of new friends, and I’ve laughed harder than I thought was possible.
Taking the class has literally changed my life, and I can not recommend it more. The $99 deal is way too good to not try. Sure improv isn’t for everybody, but when it sinks in oooo baby does it feel good.”
