Testimonials

Tanya led our students in a series of improv exercises that were incredibly engaging, meaningful, intentional, and filled with pure fun. We can't state enough how awesome our experience was with your organization and with Tanya as a facilitator.

“Thank you Ms. Tanya. I’ve had so much fun at the improv class and I wish I could do it forever! Thank you so much.”

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for cultivating my son’s love of writing! You have taught him so many skills that he will apply for the rest of his life, and you have brought immesurable joy to his week! You are so talented, kind, patient and inspiring! Thank you for all of the time energy, and love you shared with him and all of the kids.

— Rachel, parent

“I really wanted to say a big, enormous THANK YOU. THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!!! Not just for helping me out of my dreaded COVID winter blues and actually giving me energy and joy that sustained much of my weeks (which it did, every Sunday!). Not just for being a warm, welcoming, and enriching instructor that gave us a chance to really grow and appreciate a new skill (which you did, every Sunday!). Not just for helping me through a bit of an acting rut and connecting me to my passion after I have been struggling with it (again, you did, every Sunday!). BUT for introducing me to improv and for giving us all a real chance to play, take risks, and get the REAL skills. I always had an instinct that I would love improv. I always felt like the potential was there for me to really connect with improv. I am so happy and so thrilled that after 6 weeks of your class and a fantastic experience on stage for our performance, I am completely, head over heels, enamored with improv. I can't wait til I can do this again. I'm hooked now. Thank you so much! You are such an awesome teacher and your enthusiasm is clearly highly contagious!”

— Kate, adult student Improv Basics

“You were naturally supportive and encouraging as a teacher and you always had great answers for my questions. I would 100% recommend your class if anyone wants to learn improv. I hope to be back at Crossroads for an intermediate class soon.”

— Lou, adult student Improv Basics

“I enjoyed it. Rated 100 out of 100”
