ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEEE???? SUCH AN AMAZING TIME IMPROVISING "10 Minutes with Mary C. Parker" Thanks to Mark Turpin for the suggestion "It wasn't as good as the first one." Thanks to David Escobedo for connecting us!

Stick around as we talk about how Mary got into improv, re-starting her company during a pandemic, using improv to help people become better, reexamining the yes and dangers it can cause, the removal of gatekeepers in improv, how the pandemic has made the improv world both bigger and smaller and more.

Mary is really, really good and really, really fun to play with because she likes to be both silly and honest. She has great acting chops too. She likes to build scenes slowly and to a crescendo, which is something I really admire and respect in performers. She can also make very quick decisions while playing, which makes Mary such a versatile performer.
