"This class is my first step into improv in many years and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start. Once I made the big leap, I was thrilled to discover how the class worked, like climbing a set of stairs, each exercise builds to the next. ... I came here to have fun, expand my creative skills and I’m getting that plus learning more about the human experience. I highly recommend Tightrope Theatre" - Laura Burns
