We serve all students
As a new nonprofit organization, our primary focus is a free, core program offered to our partner public schools in the Philadelphia School District. At the same time, we believe deeply in the value of our program and are committed to sharing the benefits of our work as widely as we are able. To this end, we offer three types of programming for all school partners who are not our current priority partners (with pricing on a sliding scale).
Student-Facing Workshops
Our Signature program is our main offering, but we also offer afterschool and one-time workshop options. We can tailor our programming to your school's needs. Please contact us to learn more about pricing.
Provide all students in a given cohort a robust introduction to improv, during classtime; focus on skills like active listening, speaking publicly with confidence, leadership
10 in-class hours
Signature Program

90 mins - 3 hours w/ optional follow-ons

Custom
All workshops will be taught by one of Unscripted’s professional teaching artists (professional improvisers and improv teachers, trained for classroom settings). Lesson plans will be drawn from our innovative, standards - aligned curriculum.
Professional Development
We’re empowering our educators to bring improv into their classrooms, whether in person or remotely, by offering Act 48 professional development workshops (accredited by PA Dept. of Education) online. We will keep facilitator : participant ratios low, as workshops are designed to be interactive, relevant, and fun.
