1. Do I need any improv or acting experience to join?

Nope! All of our Level 1 classes and Pay-What-You-Can workshops are designed for total beginners. No scripts, no memorization — just a willingness to play and try new things.

2. Who can take classes at SolPlay?

SolPlay classes are for adults (18+). We welcome people from all backgrounds, whether you’ve never set foot on a stage or have years of performance experience.

3. What if I’ve done improv before?

If you’ve completed Level 1 at SolPlay or another improv school, you can join Level 2 or higher. Even experienced players often retake Level 1 to refresh their fundamentals and reconnect with the joy of play.

4. How long are classes?

Our core classes run for 8 weeks, meeting once a week for 2.5 hours. Workshops and jams are one-time events that typically last 2 hours.

5. How much do classes cost?

We’re launching with a special introductory rate of $295 for all 8-week core classes. Prices will increase in the future.

Workshops and jams are Pay-What-You-Can, with a suggested contribution of $5–$30 — but truly, pay what feels right for you.

6. What should I wear?

Dress comfortably in clothes you can move in. No need for costumes — just you and your willingness to play.

7. What if I’m shy or nervous?

That’s totally okay (and very common). Our classes and workshops are structured to be supportive, low-pressure, and fun. Many students start out nervous and end up surprised by how much they enjoy themselves.

8. Do you offer discounts?

Yes! If you repeat a level you’ve already taken with SolPlay, you get 50% off that class.

9. Where are classes held?

We currently teach at:

• Carroll Baldwin Hall – 9035 Baltimore St, Savage, MD 20763

• Howard County Arts Council – 8510 High Ridge Rd, Ellicott City, MD 21043

10. What’s your refund policy?

We understand that life happens! If you need to withdraw from a class, you can receive:

• A full refund if you cancel at least 7 days before the first class.

• A 50% refund if you cancel within the first week of class.

• After the first week, tuition is non-refundable, but we’re happy to offer you a credit toward a future SolPlay class or workshop.

For one-time Pay-What-You-Can workshops, contributions are non-refundable, but you’re welcome to transfer your spot to a friend if you can’t attend.

11. How do I sign up?

You can register directly on our website — either from the Home page or the Classes section. Spots are limited, so we recommend signing up early.

By signing up for a class, you agree to our Student Policies — including guidelines around conduct, attendance, and creating a supportive space for everyone.
