Casting Directors and Agents want people who can improvise. Why? People who can improvise are more open, creative, relaxed and spontaneous. At Actors Improv Studio, we help actors learn to improvise and improvisers learn to act! A.I.S. was founded by Second City Chicago alum Bill Applebaum. Bill uses techniques he learned directly from those who started the modern improv movement. He helps people access their unique creativity. Call or mail actorsimprovstudio@earthlink.net
