IMP teaches classes for all ages at various locations on the Vineyard. Using their “no mistakes only gifts” philosophy all students find their inner sense of play and create fun theater for themselves and the audience. Each session ends with a show where student IMPs then perform for invited guests and/or the general public. IMP is also available to teach private classes and sessions to individuals and organizations.
