Testimonials:
Lou made me (and everyone) feel SO comfortable as an improviser and just as a queer person. I leave this class with such a strong sense of confidence in who I am as a person and performer, and that’s mainly due to Lou.
I know bcc has such a foundation in queerness. One of the things we talked about in class is that it was so refreshing to have so many lgbtq classmates. my experience at bcc is that is the norm especially compared to other improv theaters. I just loved it so much ♥️♥️
This class taught me how to harness my queer identity and put more of myself into every scene I do.
