Gary Ware - Gary stumbled into improv while trying to become a better public speaker, and it completely changed his life. Thirteen years later, he’s still chasing that sense of wonder and connection that happens when people say “yes, and” together. For the past eight years, Gary has been teaching improv with a focus on helping students find joy, confidence, and creativity both on and off the stage. He’s trained at National Comedy Theatre, Sidestage Improv, Camp Improv Utopia, and Second City Hollywood, along with countless workshops and drop-ins across the country. In his classes, Gary creates a space where playfulness meets purpose, and laughter leads to real growth. Whether you’re brand new or a longtime performer, he’ll help you rediscover what makes improv and life a whole lot more fun. https://www.breakthroughplay.com/ - Finest City Improv /Breakthrough Play / San Diego, CA
