Since the Fall of 2017, Kidprov Chicago has enabled children to discover the confidence, spontaneity, creativity, trust and listening skills that they innately possess. Improv games help children develop these strengths through deeper connections made as an ensemble. While learning the basics of improvisation, children are empowered to take positive risks and turn "mistakes" into gifts through the magic of play. Our philosophy is that improv builds trust and social skills, therefore allowing children to be successful both socially and emotionally.


Our teaching duo have a combined 69 years of improv experience that began at the University of Chicago. Edmund is a veteran improv teacher who has worked with kids (and adults) at The Second City in Chicago and ACME Comedy Theatre in Los Angeles since 2004. Dana is the Lower & Intermediate School Drama Teacher and Middle School Musical Director at one of Chicago's premier progressive institutions, Francis W. Parker School. She has been a lead elementary classroom teacher there and in other schools since 1996.
