Education Programming
Wing-It offers a variety of Adult Continuing Education courses including Improv 101, 201, 301, as well as the Performance Series and a Drop-In Dojo. 101, 201, and 301 build on one another and focus on general technique beginning with character work, storytelling, relationships, and objective then building to environment, partnering, scene work, and performance theory. Students audition for a spot in the Performance Series then under the tutelage of a director, who is typically also in the Jet City ensemble, rehearse for six weeks culminating in the creation of a new long-form format. This new format is performed every Sunday for three weeks and in between performances pick-up rehearsals are held to refine the format and receive constructive criticism. Drop-In Dojo is held every Monday from 6-8:00pm and is open to anyone. Players pay a small fee and an instructor will offer one-time workshop for those in attendance.
In addition to the adult classes, Wing-It also offers classes for high, middle, and elementary school students. For high school students, Wing-It teaches classes at the Historic University Theater, administers residency programs, and holds the Seattle Open, an improv competition for high school groups. Middle school residencies are also available and Jet City can be contracted to perform in assemblies.
Wing-It provides several different corporate workshops to companies. These workshops vary based on company needs, however most focus on teamwork, creativity and communication.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or programming:
“Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
