"ImprovBoston was terrific. They resonated well with the students and the teachers...and got the points across in a very soft, but serious way. They were right on the spot with each grade, upping the ante every time to be age appropriate, and I was amazed at the phenomenal improv and adaptation." - Logan O'Connor, Enrichment Chair, Friends of the Nantucket Public Schools
