My name is Caitlin Drago and I founded Inspire Improv in 2013. When I transitioned to a full time corporate job, I was amazed to realize how important my stage skills were. Practicing improvisation techniques is a great tool for companies and organizations looking to increase trust, teamwork, listening skills, and creativity. After experiencing the transformational effects of improvisation in the
corporate realm, I became interested in using improvisation for the benefit of women in transition. I have since been teaching workshops at local women’s organizations in the Rochester area. I have been active in theatre and the performing arts since I was young. I received my BFA from SUNY Fredonia and moved on to teach and perform in children’s theatre with Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre and the Omaha Theatre for Young People. I then moved to Los Angeles to continue my training and pursue a career in the entertainment industry. I studied with Monkey Butler Improv as well as Upright Citizens Brigade, the first nationally accredited improv school in the country. While living there, I also volunteered with Art of Elysium as well as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles. After seven years training and working in Los Angeles, I moved back to Rochester. I've continued performing in the Rochester area with local theatre and improvisation groups, i.e. TYKES, Search Engine Improv, Unleashed Improv and Geva Comedy Improv.
