Overall it was a blast!" — Lauren K.“I was always jealous of my friends who had an 'artistic outlet' — a way to express themselves outside of work and family. I can barely draw a stick figure and I leave musical instruments to people who can play them. Stepping into Gary’s beginning improv acting class opened that creative door for me. Anyone can do it. Blissfully, “talent” or being funny isn’t required. All I needed was the desire to have fun. Gary takes care of the rest. Going to improv class is a highlight of my week, and no, I’m not a recluse! As a bonus, the class has given me the confidence to speak in front of others when the need arises. Think wedding toasts and presentations. I’m so glad I found this class!” - Julie S.A bout the teacherGary Jacobs has been producing, performing, directing, and teaching improvisational theater in the D.C. area for 42 years. In 1995 he founded Precipice Improv Theater. Precipice dedicates itself to improvising full-length comic plays as good as the best scripted plays performed today.Upon hearing of Gary's plans for Precipice, his mother was heard to say, "This will either be the most brilliant contribution to Western Civilization since the invention of scientific one-point perspective by Filippo Brunelleschi in 1415, or theatrical suicide.”While the jury is still out on that prediction, audiences have enjoyed over 200 Precipice performances. In January of 2023, Precipice’s four improvised comic plays served as the centerpiece of the First Bethesda Improv and Comedy Festival.Gary is also the artistic director of the Center for Narrative Improvisation and producer of the Bethesda Improv and Comedy Festival with Alice Lipowicz.Gary’s first passion is teaching. He started teaching locally in 1985 after five years producing, acting and directing improv theater. In 1989, Gary started the first year-round, drop-in improv class in the D.C. area, which he taught continuously for 12 years until September 11, 2001, when the government building he used for the class was closed to all outside groups. He started this year-round drop-in class again in 2015, which ended with the recent pandemic.In 2005, Gary started teaching across the country at companies such as ImprovBoston, Bay Area Theatersports in San Francisco, the Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica, the Chaos Theater in Phoenix, Unscrewed Theater in Tuscon, and the Ventura Improv Company in Ventura. He has also taught overseas at the Improv Bandits in Auckland, New Zealand, and the Court Theater in Christchurch, New Zealand.Gary is writing a book entitled Principles of Improvising Plays and Scripts for Stage and Screen.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8bb155d0-e155-11f0-b8a6-8b8a7e1d2def-rimg-w1110-h740-dc030403-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/8beb0370-e155-11f0-b8a6-8b8a7e1d2def-rimg-w987-h740-dc161513-gmir.jpg

                "description": "Precipice is a non-profit theater dedicated to creating great art improvisationally.  Founded in 1996, Precipice has performed hundreds of improvised plays and taught hundreds of classes.  \r\nOur teaching philosophy is that improv classes should be fun and rigorous.  \r\nIt’s rare when our students aren’t laughing for an entire class, delighting themselves and each other with the collective creativity that gets unlocked in a structured and supportive environment.\r\nIn contrast, many of the best scripted acting classes have a reputation for rigor. These teachers have high standards, and possess a deep and wide knowledge of acting training. This can lead to outstanding work, and a sense of accomplishment that is exciting and deeply satisfying.\r\nPrecipice’s improv classes combine the fun of a good improv class with a commitment to excellence, and a deep knowledge of improv. Our artistic goal is to unlock and channel students’ collective creativity to produce great scenes and plays, scenes and plays that are as good as the best scripted scenes and plays performed today. All classes are taught by Precipice artistic director Gary Jacobs who has over 35 years of experience teaching, directing, and producing improvisational theater."
