Is it time to play? Darn heck it is

News just in?

WIT’s Term IV classes at WCEC have already started, sorry – our 2025 classes will be available for enrollment from early December.

If you’re looking for a grounding in the essentials of improv (or a delightful refresher) our eight week courses The Joy of Improvisation and Improv for the Stage, are always a great place to start.   WIT has run these classes on in cheerful association with the Wellington Community Education Centre at Wellington High School since forever (or at least for about 20 years).  Sign up through the WCEC website.   If you’d like more information, contact us.

I’ve done some classes already – what next?

If you’ve done The Joy or an intro class somewhere else, you are also very welcome to join us for the improv workout of workouts on Tuesday nights (see below). You don’t need to become a member of WIT, but once you’ve been to some Tuesdays and we’ve got to know you, it is a very good option. Costs is a modest $30, conferring benefits such as being eligible to be cast in mainstage shows, and vote for or even be on the committee, as well as discounts on special workshops. Ask your workshop leader.

WIT’s Tuesday training

WIT has regular Tuesday night improv sessions in the Wellington CBD for people who’ve completed basic training, either with WIT or the equivalent somewhere else.   Sometimes we have special guest tutors, but most sessions are led by experienced volunteer WIT trainers.  There’s usually a month’s break over the Xmas holidays, and there are also occasional nights off when a WIT show is opening or for other special reasons (eg the NZ Improv Festival), signup to the newsletter or follow WIT’s Facebook page for the most up-to-date info.

Our current Tuesday training venue is Te Auaha, 65 Dixon St,  usually in the room opposite the ‘Garage’ Studio on the ground floor (turn right just before the lifts).  Sometimes though the room changes, so just check at the front desk if we’re not where you expect.
