"Harry and I started taking improv classes around the same time. I must confess that one of the reasons I kept going is because of Harry. His enthusiasm for learning improv despite his age and illness inspired me....When Harry invited me to his new group, I accepted without hesitation. I believe that the beauty of improv is that it provides a safe, non-judgmental environment to fail and learn from mistakes, which is so rare in the real world. But the improv skills I learned have gone beyond the stage. This is what I have learned from improv: 1) don’t take yourself too seriously; 2) be patient with yourself; 3) it’s okay if you have nothing to say; 4) your best ideas come when you trust yourself and stay in the moment; 5) having fun is better than being right; 6) accept other people’s points of view with “yes, and…” instead of “no, but…”. This makes resolving conflicts effortless!"
