HC: How did you get into improv?
“My friend, Elaine, did improv and I also knew the president, Evan, so I was familiar with the improv crowd. I always wanted to try it but was too nervous. But one time, I did some improv at a party and everyone laughed and told me it was really funny, so I started going to practices and I really enjoyed it! I was in my first show last year.”
HC: What do you like most about improv?
“There’s a lot more to it than getting on stage and being funny. It’s cool because you use a different part of your mind and that’s taught me a lot. It’s made me more comfortable in situations when I don’t have plan and I’ve learned a lot about life and how to talk to people. Plus it’s just really fun!”
HC: Tell me about the last book you read and Movie/TV show you watched?
“Well, the thing is, I start a lot of books and I don’t finish them. The most recent book I started was “Walk Across America,” It’s really good and I like it. But, I don’t remember the last book I finished. I really got into this show, Once Upon A Time over Fall break. It’s not that great, but I love it! I like to watch really crappy TV shows that are still entertaining.”
HC: What does your typical Friday night look like?
“I’m either really social or really antisocial. I’ll either go to Buffs and have a few drinks with my friends and hang out all night. Or I’ll just stay in with my roomies, watch a movie and be in bed by 10. It just depends.”
HC: What’s something not a lot of people know about you?
“I can do a cartwheel… kind of. Oh, wait, I have a better one. I’m in a local car dealership commercial.”
