Cultural Enrichment
ImprovBoston - 4 Cs
Tuesday, May 28
The PTO’s Cultural Enrichment Team is excited to bring out last show of the school year! ImprovBoston’s expert improvisers use the art of comedy and hands-on entertainment to actively explore four of the most important concepts in education today:
- Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical thinking
This fast-paced, engaging 45 minute highly interactive performance features all the entertainment value of a professional comedy show while fostering important curricular discoveries throughout the journey. Students take the stage alongside the ImprovBoston cast for an unforgettable hour of supported risk-taking. Customized to each grade level, the “4 Cs” seamlessly blends laughter, learning, music and off-the-cuff theater to show the many ways we are all improvisers, performing each and every day without a script.
