Talk of the town

“It’s rare to find artists at the peak of their craft not only willing to give back to their community but can do so with such expertise, curiosity and collaboration. Full Circle is an intelligent group of like minded individuals whose passionate appreciation for improv is bound to become invaluable for others the moment they play for you or with you.”

“Annie and the team at Full Circle teach with passion, joy, and focus. They have given these teenagers a craft to be proud of – to know they are good improvisers – and moreover, to embody in real life everything that makes improv good – listening to one another, supporting any idea no matter how crazy, going with the flow, having confidence in your own choices, and being fearless in front of an audience and your peers. These are HUGE life lessons taught to these students through play, fun, and games. Full Circle really reaches these students in a profound way.”

“I was really happy that we got to have Full Circle be a part of our Northlight summer… the kids loved the extra improv practice and the parents were thrilled as well.”
