Laurie is a high-energy instructor who immediately connects with the students and draws the best work out of them. Laurie was able to bring out qualities in these students that I have never seen in them before. She really got them to take risks and stretch their abilities.Elke Matzen, Drama/Film Teacher – Montgomery High School, Santa Rosa CA

I took both your beginning and advanced comedy improv classes. I wanted to thank you for your insight and the training you provided. I have used the skills in many projects. I had to improv the majority of my lines in "The Return of Johnny V" and your training was key in the process. My performance has garnered many accolades. I never would have pulled it off without your help. Thanks again.  - Craig Rainey

Laurie is absolutely brilliant and creative in the extreme!
