All Together Now

Join me in officially debuting

All Together Now.

You'll be a part of crafting an Improvised narrative informed by behavioral analysis and drama therapy. You don't have to be a scientist or Improvisor. Be prepared to share yourself, interact with strangers and see how a bit of Improv can create a universe in which you are seen, heard and loved. Whether you join virtually or live, you'll emerge saying "I didn't know I could do that!"
