Yes. With Super EGO, you are always working towards your next production. Through improvisations in groups, you will devise ideas for the next production. Then, the directors will take all your ideas and turn them into a script. You will rehearse this script over a few months, then perform it in front of an audience with professional sound, lights and costume!
