What we’re about
If you're curious about improvisation and want to learn? Or if you're already experienced at improv and just want to play? Or maybe you don't really know what you are, the days meshing together into some endless, singular void and you just want a funny and interactive way to spend a couple of hours?!

He also serves as a faculty member at The Fountain Theatre and P.S. ARTS. Stephen believes the experience of improv is about finding connection, and that the skills and knowledge of improv are just as useful for our communication both onstage and offstage.
Wendy has been a member of numerous online- and LA-based improv teams; has produced live improv and variety shows across LA; and has taught improv workshops for students of various experience levels and cultural backgrounds.
