Improv Classes

March 5th, 2008

Stick Horses in Pants, Colorado Springs’ Favorite Improv Troupe, is proud to announce they will begin teaching improv classes on April 5, 2008.  Beginning at 10am and ending at noon students will learn some of the basics of improv as well as perform some of their favorite improv games.

 Visit the website to register for classes!  Cost is $120 for all six classes.

New Website

March 4th, 2008

The Stick Horses have a new website!  We did this for several reasons:

  1.  The old one had been in place for about 3 years
  2. We’re doing a lot of new things and the old site wasn’t equipt to handle the changes
  3. The old site was hand-coded so only those who knew HTML could make changes

We hope you like it!
