What is our creative vision?Together, we are exploring a new type of improv comedy called the SEA of Comedia which was invented and created by our director and author of "IMPROV ZEN" which will be available in paperback and hard cover on Amazon this summer. ​ SEA of Comedia ​ Spontaneous Emotional Acting ​ in Comedy ​ Our training and exploration is for television. This style is an extension and progression of Mr. Webster's "Novel" which he developed during his run of over 1000 sold out shows in-a-row, while creating his last TV show & during his more than his 2000 lifetime performances. ​ Mr. Webster's past students have produced, and some are still running, their own improv comedy companies here in Atlanta - Whole World Theater (Created by David Webster), Relapse Theater, The Village Theater and other improv groups have sprung off of Mr. Webster's past teaching, direction and creation. He is proud of them all. ​ Ours, is a project for those driven to be the best spontaneous emotional actors in the world of TV comedy! The skill-set is different from that which is needed for improv theater. ​
