A New Adventure Begins: Welcoming The Improvaneer Method to GiGi’s Virtual Playhouse! 

We are excited to launch a brand-new partnership this year with The Improvaneer Method, bringing an engaging and free drama-based program to our Teens and Adults. While the online program uses improv to build communication skills, creative thinking, and confidence, what has stood out most is how much our participants are enjoying it. 

From the very first session, participants have jumped right in—sharing ideas, trying new activities, and supporting one another. The online program has been full of smiles, laughter, and moments of accomplishment. One volunteer shared a Best of All moment: “Felicity was very helpful throughout the night, giving suggestions and letting Liz know when someone’s name was different than their screen name. Everyone was excited about participating and taking their turn!” 

This is exactly the experience we hoped to create: a place where participants feel comfortable, expressive, and proud of themselves. Each week, we’re already seeing confidence grow, creativity shine, and new connections form. 

We are thrilled to offer this new opportunity through our partnership with The Improvaneer Method and can’t wait to see how our Drama Troupe continues to thrive throughout the year. Participants are embracing it wholeheartedly—and loving every minute.
