Actor/comedian and retired U.S. Air Force medic, BJ Lange (MTV, Dr. Phil, Jimmy Kimmel Live) will lead a three-hour workshop designed for general audiences and civilians. In this active, hands-on workshop, attendees will laugh with friends and gain some of their childhood playfulness back while engaging in theater games designed to build confidence and strengthen life skills such as team-building, listening, problem-solving, and risk taking by using the fundamentals of improvisational theater.

This session will have a focus on people who have no military experience and how these skills can apply to anyone's life, but all are welcome! Actively participate or drop by and observe the session as your schedule allows.
