GATEWAY TO THE STAGE
Yes, And! - After School Improv For Teens
Improvisation is about more than comedy—it’s about listening, confidence, collaboration, and trusting your instincts.
In this after-school improv class, students will learn the fundamentals of improvisational theatre through games, group exercises, and scene work. Led by instructor Chuck Mordock, the class creates a welcoming environment where students are encouraged to take creative risks, support one another, and have fun onstage.
This class is designed for High School students (Freshmen - Seniors) only, allowing participants to grow alongside peers at a similar developmental and comedic level.
No prior theatre experience is required.

Our Team.
Chuck Mordock has been part of the Ukiah performing arts community for as long as he can remember. Chuck literally grew up in a theatre, spending most evenings at Ukiah Players Theatre, where his father, Steve Wilson, was the primary lighting designer. In his teen years, Chuck's passion of improv truly took hold, co-founding the Upstarts improv group at UPT. He trained and performed with Mendocino College, UPT, S.P.A.C.E., Mendocino Ballet, and more, before moving to Southern California to study drama and music at the University of California, Irvine.
After returning to Ukiah, he has continued working across the region as a director, writer, choreographer, performer, and teacher. In early 2024 Chuck was finally able to work with WCT and has continued to collaborate with ever since. He now co-runs the Improv program at Ukiah Players Theatre, teaches Beginning Improv at S.P.A.C.E., and is the founder and director of "Fighting Chance Live", a TTRPG-inspired improv ensemble that blends narrative roleplay with live performance. Chuck is ecstatic to be spearheading the Gateway to the Stars youth program at WCT and can't wait to introduce more of our local youth to the magic of theatre.
