"The improv comedy team (from Improv Playhouse) was great.  It's so amazing that they can come up with the material so quickly.  What I thought was going to be a work function turned into a party!  The improv performance was by far the highlight of the day"

Leslie K., , Baxter International

"This was the best team building exercise that our group has ever done.  It was truly memorable and life changing.  Even the individuals who we assumed would not participate blew others out of the water as this really catered to those trying to break down communication barriers.  Thank you very much David and the Improv Playhouse team!"

Libby K., Abbott Labs, Global Access Administration

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your help in planning our event last night! It turned out beautifully and everyone had such a great time—it was the perfect team building event for our group. Again, thank you for all of your help, this was a great and worthwhile experience for us!"

SAP and Microsoft C-Level Sales and Pre-Sales Midwest Division, Miscellaneous Comments

"Thanks for a great evening - the opportunity to "be creative" in a different format with people we don't always spend "fun" time with.Great excercises.  Eye-opener - reminder of how much we control our workspace and interactions with one another.  Great ice breaker games. David and the Improv Playhouse created a nice way to encourage people to open up and give of yourself for the greater good - one for all, all for one.  This would be great for our presales/demo team.  David and Improv Playhouse gave us a terrific value that far surpassed what other organizations have brought to our table.  The storytelling games demonstrated the power of working together for a greater good!  Mind Opening...Great Fun. Good way to let loose and get to know my team in a new way.   David Stuart led one of the Best Team Building events I have participated in."

" Didn’t we have fun today?  WOW what a great time as we participated in improvisational exercises and honed our creative story telling skills with the Improv Playhouse!   It’s possible some of the stories will become legend which would not have been possible without your creativity and energy. Once upon a time…

A special BIG thank you to the Improv Playhouse for sharing your knowledge and experience. The hour today went by too fast as we were all having so much fun!

Abbott Labs

"This was a unique, fun, and painless way to learn some new approaches to managing projects.

I really enjoyed the training David and the Improv Playhouse Team offered.  I was afraid it would be too much out of the box for a corporate mindset, but it wasn’t. On the contrary, the unique training materials opened up people and I saw my coworkers in a different light than before. Thank you so much; my whole group absolutely LOVED it!  I also saw great potential in your team building program that’s even more aligned with corporate mindset.  Overall, this was the most unique training any of us have done for the duration of time spent at Abbott."

Prime Performance Consulting

"Just wanted to thank you again for the great job you did at yesterday’s presentation. The staff had a great time—younger staff and admin staff got to interact with our senior staff in a relaxed fun environment.  And, our account managers and other senior staff built valuable interaction and presentation skills. It was a great way to kick off a new year."

Abbott's Center for Development

"Hi David and the Improv Playhouse team! I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful training last night. It was really good to see the teams getting along and laughing and I really think they learned things not only about themselves but also about the other people in their teams... it is wonderful to have this growing relationship with you and Improv Playhouse....   Thanks again"
