According to instructor John Herman, the class is aimed at providing local performers the opportunity to experience the level of study found at comedy schools in New York and Chicago. "Over the years, we've had a lot of interest in improv classes in New Hampshire. We are very serious about our comedy, and we wanted to provide training that released inhibitions and unlocked performance potential."

Herman brings over ten years if improv performance and directing to the class. He adds that the class isn't just about theater games. "Our goal is to foster fully realized characters, spontaneous creativity, and artistic collaboration. Performers of all experience levels will be able to explore the roots of improv, and the class culminates in an improv performance in front of a real live audience!"

Stranger Than Fiction was created to spread the art of improv through performance and education. In addition to shows and classes, the troupe also hosts a summer improv retreat called Camprov that attracts improv comedians internationally.
