Pat's Info
I started teaching Improv short form workshops over 20 years ago in order to get our Troupe ready for the 3-10 shows we performed weekly in the late 90's.From this I have workshopped and taught The Second City style improv at local schools and colleges.
Taught at the Michigan Thespian festival to a class of 65 which mad me improvise my improv lesson plan and it was an awesome class.
I now teach at several high schools and am the Improv Instructor at a Film school here in Michigan.
I sometimes enter my students in competitions and recently had a great show competition at The Planet Ant for the Antfest.
