The Fine Print
This class is offered by Buffalo Improv House LLC
Class Size Requirement: This class requires a certain number of registrants in order to run. Buffalo Improv House reserves the right to cancel and refund this class if that number is not met. We will be in touch with you if it looks like this will happen.
COVID Policy: We follow local, state, and federal guidance and requirements in regards to COVID safety policies. In addition, this class takes place at a building that may choose to enact its own COVID safety policies, and we are in frequent communication with other performing arts organizations regarding their COVID policies. Our classes are currently mask-optional, with proof of vaccination not required. However, this may change as CDC, State and local regulations and guidance changes, or as new best practices develop in our industry. We take COVID seriously and ask that you do not take our classes if you are unwilling to follow COVID safety measures if the COVID situation returns us to a place where face coverings or proof of vaccination become required or recommended again.
Cancellation / Makeup Policy: This is a six-week class with an additional make-up day reserved. If an individual session needs to be canceled due to weather, instructor unavailability, or for COVID reasons, a session will be added on the scheduled makeup day. If an additional make-up day is needed, that will be addressed on a case by case basis. If the Buffalo Improv House team determine that the class can no longer run due to COVID reasons, the class will either move online, will be put on hold, or will be canceled, depending on various factors including student feedback.
Refund Policy: We follow the same strict no refund policy of most Improv Comedy schools and theaters, except in the case where our class is unable to run as advertised. If this class cannot run as advertised or must be canceled before its start date, we will provide full refunds. If this class must be canceled or if significant changes must be made to the schedule after the class begins (beyond the use of one reserved make-up day) we will provide prorated refunds based on the number of remaining classes.
Lateness and Attendance Policy: Please be on time for our class, and please prioritize this class. Our class is designed in a way where it is most beneficial if everyone is there, on time, ready to work. It’s understandable to occasionally be running late because work ran late, or to need to miss a class because of a long-planned vacation, a medical situation, or something like that, and we are very understanding and flexible. However, students who are repeatedly late or absent will be asked not to participate in the class show and will likely be required to repeat this class before moving on. In our 30+ years of combined improv teaching experience, this has only happened a handful of times and it is a very tough conversation to have. We do not want this. Please do not force us to make this decision!
