In this episode we talk about:

Magic and Improv have similar issues
Second City Improv gave us some amazing people
Sometimes its art and sometimes it isn't
Knowing your strengths is key
Many dramatic actors began as improvisors
Don't think… Be present
Why she studied at multiple improv schools
It costs a ton to take improv
Improv is therapeutic
101 classes are full of people who dont care
Lynne doesn’t think Improv works in LA
Improv requires selflessness
I don’t care if you laugh, I care that your compelled
It’s hard to be about process in Los Angeles because you have to pay the bills
Money ruins art
Life is here to amuse you
Dealing with Anxiety
Adults need to play more
Starting a non profit to encourage and empower young women
Accepting your mistakes like they are a reward
… and remembering that all of life is Improv
