Along with the creation of shows, The Annoyance has provided training in improvisation since 1989. As our approach to improvisation has evolved, we are able to provide a healthy alternative in the study of improvisation. Highly individual attention has become The Annoyance trademark, with students leaving our program with a better sense of themselves on stage, and strong tools to navigate through an improv scene. Although The Annoyance has respect for long-form and games, we focus our training on the scene itself, and the individuals that make up the scene. Like our creations on stage, The Annoyance training program is uncensored and void of traditional improv rules, providing a free and encourging environment to improvise in.
