IMPROV CLASSES AT
THE ANNOYANCE
Under the guidance of Artistic Director Mick Napier, The Annoyance provides excellent quality training
in improvisation.
Based on Napier’s book, Improvise: Scene From the Inside Out, the Annoyance philosophy focuses on the individual, giving students feedback and support to allow them to find and enhance their personal point of view and creative voice.

Rent a Space!
From the bar, our two theaters, and our studios, we have it all!
We have 6 studio classrooms to rent for rehearsals, meetings,
and auditions. They may also be rented for commercial use (classes/workshops) at our commercial rates.
Our Small (40 seat) and Mainstage (100 seat) theaters are also available for rental for corporate/special events and parties.
