Apply.

Explore the questions about your preparation and what you’d like to develop through study with Rob Adler.

Module A · 30 hours led by Rob Adler · $4,000

A cohort of up to eight participants, beginning the second week of January 2027, with meeting times arranged around the cohort’s needs. Includes 21 hours live online and nine hours across two days in Chicago. Independent practice and assignments in your own teaching setting are additional.

Tuition includes instruction, course materials, mentorship and feedback. Travel, lodging, meals and prerequisite games training are separate.

After acceptance and confirmation of the schedule, the reservation payment is $1,000. The remaining $3,000 is due two weeks before training begins. Cancellation and refund terms will be provided before payment.

You may apply before completing your games preparation. Rob Adler will review your prior study and identify any additional training you need before starting. Without a suitable foundation in Spolin’s theatre games, this will likely mean 90 hours of separate games preparation. Completing Module A does not confer certification. Read the FAQ about preparation, travel and tuition.

Brief answers and lists are welcome. All fields are required except “How did you hear about the training?” Describe your own experience; leave out student names, confidential incidents and personal health information.
