I just wanted to take a moment to thank Melanie Penn for joining the fold of CORE coaches who work with students and inspire them to perform improv at new levels. 

Melanie's decision to become a CORE Coach is a great thing for everyone. She is very active in the St. Louis Improv Community, doubling as one of the coaches at The Improv Shop, where she also performs. Being able to tap into that experience will be a major boon for students of improv, seeking to understand what it's like "out there" after graduation.

This is also one of those proud (humbling?) moments for our senior coaches, because - years ago - she was a member of a high-school improv team instructed by CORE Improv. We hope she sets the example, and that kind of cycle continues in years to come!
