White Tie Improv, Spring 2010

I can't wait to get back into doing this in the fall.  White Tie Improv in Moscow, Idaho, just started this spring and it's been a big help to my work.  You can go to the practices whether or not you want to be put onstage.  They've helped me learn how to more effectively tell stories.  Look them up on Facebook.  They have pictures of their performances and you can see when their next practices and performances are.
