Improv Comedy Camp: A Circus of Creative Arts

Sessions take place from 1:00 - 3:00 PM on below dates.

Saturday, May 31

About the Instructor:

Terry Sand, alias Madame Shinsplintski, is a world renowned, or at least somewhat locally familiar, artist, comedian, and improv ring leader. She is on a mission to inspire joy, laughter, and a brief respite from reality through performance, improv, drawings and paintings of her unique comedic characters.

The Shinsplintsky Family Circus began as a comedic theater piece Terry created and performed in San Francisco with a cast of improv comedy actors. The show centered on The Most Dysfunctional Circus on Earth and featured a variety of somewhat pathetic acts and overly dramatic performers.

Madam Shinplintsky is the imaginary founder and artistic director of the circus. She was a former 911-call center operator who thrives on stress. Some of the other characters included Victoria Vargas, a disoriented psychic; Anita Date, a high wire performer afraid of heights; Sally Jesse Feeling Swell, the company’s decertified resident chiropractor; and Monsieur Monterey, a foreign spy of dubious nationality.
