"Martin's Improv course for kids is a truly exciting and fun way for kids to explore this avenue of self expression. He is able to bring kids out of their shells by providing a safe place to go bonkers! It is an amazing mix of games, acting, sports, and humor all wrapped up with a nice bow of non-judgment and support. Hard to explain really, Martin you should market this to Jr. High and Schools as a program for self-esteem and self-confidence building. Thanks!" - Jennifer Baumgardner, Parent
