Rebecca hails from Seattle, Washington, where she trained as a professional actor, played lots of parts at lots of theatres and eventually chanced upon Seattle TheatreSports where everything changed. It was 1984 and Rebecca, the actor, took an improv workshop. The next day, Rebecca was an improviser. Within weeks, she joined Seattle TheatreSports' board of directors, and for four years she taught and performed improv in and around the Pacific Northwest. The workshop she taught in San Francisco in the fall of 1987 led to the birth of BATS Improv. In 1989, Rebecca moved south to join the BATS fun. As an advocate for improvisation and pioneer in the growing field of Applied Improvisation, Rebecca has taught and performed improv all over the world. She has been invested in the development of long and short form improv here and abroad. Improv introduced Rebecca to her husband, all her best friends, and to the world. improvlady.com
