"This class exceeded my expectations by miles. I never expected to get so much from a class."


"Foundation 1 felt like playground recess. It was fun and relaxing and I found my worries were forgotten for those 3 hours. Cheaper than therapy."


"Can’t remember when I’ve felt more comfortable to make a mistake or take a risk. The environment [the coach] created was so safe, so free. And I feel we all made tremendous progress as improvisers in just a few short weeks."


"I will Definitely apply the lessons I learned in this class. I am a working actress and writer. Being able to land on your feet when things go wrong, or even right, is essential."


"[The Coach] did a great job throughout of establishing an environment that was supportive, kind, and no-nonsense. She was also a terrific model in how she inserted herself fearlessly into scenes and laughed at herself when something quirky came out."


"What I loved most about this class was the supportive and positive culture you helped create after we all learned to fail and appreciate each other."


"The class was amazing and it exceeded my expectations. I think there was a well-balanced combination of exercises and scene work, and all was done in a sort of progressive format."


"I wanted to be challenged and to get personalized instruction, and [my coach] definitely did this...he asked us what areas we wanted to work on and then focused on these with each of us in a very personal way."


"I looked forward to class every week and got a lot out of every session."
