Active Minds

An improv program for seniors

Keep sharp, be creative, have fun!

Active Minds is an educational program, designed specifically for seniors, that teaches improvisational acting techniques and skills to improve cognitive ability, foster brain health, broaden creative expression and help increase social interaction.

Designed by the folks at the National Comedy Theatre, the classes are fun, hilarious and engaging, and teach the same skills that the professional comics use.

Classes meet once a week for 2 hours, at our training center on Banker’s Hill in San Diego. Taught by members of our professional cast, each class will demonstrate the skills used in creating an improvised comedy show. The class is low stress, accessible, very funny and never embarrassing.

Testimonials

"My husband and I joined this session several weeks ago and were amazed at how warm and friendly the facilitator, and the class were."
Janet
"Each week we look forward to a relaxed and mentally stimulating two hours. This is something we truly value as we are in our seventies and are somewhat isolated and suffer from dementia."
Arthur
"Not only is our memory tested and our imagination stretched but the scenes we work involve parts of our brain that we have long thought were dormant. Kudos to you all."
John
"Active Minds has given me a connection to others who are from my generation. It has given me the ability to laugh more and harder since I was a teenager. Most of all, it has given me a deeper acceptance of myself and others. It’s given me the feeling that ‘we’re all in this together’ laughing all the way. So grateful there are still opportunities to enjoy life no matter what age we are."
Kevin
"The NCT, Unscripted Learning, class for seniors offers a unique opportunity for older people to explore new ways of thinking. The class encourages spontaneity and originality, two attributes often lacking in the ordinary senior life, in a friendly, compassionate atmosphere. Plus, it’s great fun!"
Patti
"Active Minds Senior Improv class is the highlight of my week. I haven’t laughed this much in 30 years!"
Mary
"This class is like a gym for your creative brain—helps speed up your thinking, reacting, and focus on others. It always creates full-out laughter in everyone who comes. Everyone has fun—whether you are experienced or not. You CAN learn to do this, too."
