About your instructors:
Ann Altar (she/her) is a visual artist and performer. She is charming, funny and incredibly modest. She is passionately curious about the world around her and hopes to empower others through her work as an educator. She’s a bold, bald badass.
Misty Letts (she/they) stepped into the improv pool 8 years ago and has not looked back. She got her footing at Baltimore Improv Group (BIG) through curriculum and workshops from various BIG instructors, digging into opportunities to learn from talented performers including Don Fanelli (UCB), Kate Zelensky (UCB), and Travis Charles Ploeger (iMusical- WIT). She has also enjoyed playing with Maryland Improv Collective and can presently be found camped out on Highwire’s front stoop. Misty can be found on two wheels tooling about town, so drive carefully!
