NEVER BE

NERVOUS AGAIN

Apply your improv tools to life and work: be present, comfortable and authentic in any situation.

You want to be fearless. At Players Workshop, we get it. Our classes help build confidence for every situation.

It's not a mystery or some secret potion. Here’s how we do it: We invite you to a Workshop filled with like-minded Players where you all learn to be present without fear. 1) Sign up for class. It seems easy because it is. We've been doing this for 50 years because what we do will work for you just like it has for 10,000 alumni. 2) Learn the skills. The classes are a fun and safe place to learn. Basically, you'll be stretching outside of your comfort zone to learn new things. And so will everyone else in the class. You'll learn together and from each other at the same time. 3) Never be nervous again. It seems impossible, but the reality is that once you learn how to improvise, you become more confident because you're more aware of the world around you. It's sort of like learning to walk. The first couple of times are wobbly and then all of a sudden you're up and walking and you stop thinking about the mechanics of it. You just walk. And look at you now. You're practically a professional walker! Sign up now, and in the meantime download our e-book The "New Normal" Playbook 5 Critical tools of Improvisation to Survive and Thrive. Don't miss your opportunity to be yourself and shine. Be ready for anything.
