“Susan’s coaching helped me focus on the purpose of each move on stage while emphasizing the fun and community that comes with improv. I left her instruction feeling more confident in my stage presence and choices, and more in touch with my scene partners.”

“Susan’s approach to improv encourages people to listen with care & imagine with courage. Under her instruction, I learned how to work together with others to weave together observations of the world around us into stories full of wonder. Susan creates a space in her improv workshops that gives permission to explore without condition and lean into what there is to discover in ourselves and in one another. Over a decade later, the lessons I learned under Susan’s instruction have continued to make me a more creative comedic improviser, a more engaged employee, and a more joyful member of my community.”
