Featured Performer: Rachel Tullio

|
Rachel started taking classes in 2011 but feels improv has always been in her life, especially with her dad growing up. Comedy has always been a big factor in her life watchs anything from sitcoms, sketch, variety and more. Performers like Lucille Ball, Gilda Radner, Carol Burnett to name a few shaped her concept of comedy at a young age.
Rachel doesn't feel she has a specific style or format that she plays because improv is a journey that by nature will change itself. She enjoys playing with absurdity and emotion and enjoys finding a theme that subtly threads it way through the show.
She f eels an improv performance can be therapeutic and freeing and loves that it''s an environment that supports listening. Did you know she also drove a pea viner as a summer job in high school?
Favorite quote/advice from a coach/instructor:
Stop wasting time on stupid boys - Jill Bernard

Featured Performer: Clifton Gray

Clifton Gray has been performing since April 2011. His influences include the founding members of the Torch, Brian O'Connell, P-Graph, Annie and Levin O'Conner and AJ Shainker.
Clifton doesn't have a specific format that he prefers but said if he's not performing one he tends to think of the show in terms of the Harold. The thing he loves most about improv is the freedom to control your world.
Favorite quote/advice from a coach/instructor:
if you think you've reached the end of improv and there's nothing new to do, invent something no one has every done before. It's a limitless artform. - Levin O'Conner
