Testimonials
“I recently attended your ‘Improv Games: Playing to Perfection’ workshop at Kean University and would just like to say how much I enjoyed it. My improv partner and I took your class about an hour before we had to actually compete in Improv Pairs! The exposure to the foundation of a successful improvisation scene really helped, both skill-wise and with our confidence. Thanks to you guys, we got a Superior rating for Improv Pairs! Thank you so much for that workshop! You were essential in our success.”

“Thank you guys for an unbelievable workshop a couple of weeks ago. With your help and guidance, Bogota High School did well at the 2011 New Jersey International Thespian Society Festival. One pair of students got a Superior rating, while another pair took home 3rd place in the state wide festival! We will definitely be looking forward to next year and having you guys do another workshop!”
