“…one of the best classes I ever had. It was such a great combination of theory and practice. Activities were slowed down to give people time to interact with the world they were creating, but you brought amazing energy and support between activities to keep things from dragging. It is a workshop that I would recommend to anyone doing improv, theater, writing, or anything where they want to put their imagination to work and produce a realistic and fully formed environment. It didn’t hurt that all of the participants were so actively involved and engaged and supported each other. I had a great time.”

“Marcus Sams is not only a gifted improviser, but a gifted coach as well. I have had the pleasure of taking his workshops, drop-in classes and regularly working with him as part of a troupe that he directs. He creates a fun and safe environment to learn. He is always willing to take questions and help you best understand concepts. He will push you to be a better performer and has a good eye for assessing what you need to work on to hone your craft. I consider myself lucky to get to work with him. If you get a chance to take a workshop you will not be disappointed and you will be better for it.”
