New Testimonials Since Pandemic Times:

“The past few months have been peppered with some of the most emotional moments of my life. FoHi Improv allowed me to connect regularly with my local community and be present “in real life” so I could practice much needed mindfulness. And for many weeks, I only knew what day of the week it was based on whether or not we had improv class. Thanks Kate and Co!”- Yvette

“FoHi Improv has been a massive help to me in these difficult times. The classes have been a major highlight of the week during lockdown. Kate and her team create a very welcoming and challenging environment in which folks like me who have never done improv can have a lot of fun and even try to entertain others. The Zoom community we have created really does feel like a real community that allows us all to build from our failures as much as on our successes. I would highly recommend the courses.” -Martin

“This year with FoHi has given me so much than I ever expected! I made amazing friends, a deep sense of community, stress relief, judgement free listening ears, and OMG….the laughs! Zoom-prov still provided a safe place to weekly where our singular goal was to play games and be silly. I am thrilled at the amazing faculty who are infectiously joyous about teaching us as we are to learn from them. The past few months of this pandemic would have been so terrible if FoHi Improv wasn’t there to glue us back together.” -Sarah

“This year has been a very stressful and trying time. Being able to turn off my brain and enjoy some much needed laughter has been paramount to my mental and emotional state of being because you build a community of people around you who are experiencing the same worries and struggles. It’s something I look forward to with excitement, allowing me to get through the week.” -Anesys

“FoHi Improv has literally jazzed up my life. During the Covid-19 pandemic, FoHi Improv proved a much-needed oasis in the wasteland of a city locked inside their homes. After 17+ years living in Forest Hills, I have never gotten to work with and get to know people this well, in such a positive and supportive environment.” -Joan

“FoHi Improv’s online classes have brought such creativity and JOY into my life. In the midst of a global pandemic, I’ve stayed connected with people in my community, made friends and, my god, have I laughed! If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is!” -Stephanie
