Step up your performance.
Madeline Parquette | IMDB
Acting puts us in touch with ourselves and the wider world. After years of experience in performance and production, I apply the “Fly Free” approach in my acting coaching. I help actors to feel empowered and uninhibited and to recognize that there are no right or wrong ways to create—just more effective ways.
Through my time at Chicago’s Second City, I’m fortunate to have had a literal front-row seat to the development of some of the greatest training and techniques for improvisational acting. These techniques have shaped improv as a performance tradition and enriched the entire discipline of acting as a whole. This is the training I’m eager to share with a new generation of artists.

The Workshop at the Electric Theater gives students aged 8-18 an opportunity to learn and practice all the fundamentals of improvisational acting. To get on their feet, channel their energy, and unleash their creativity. As they learn storytelling, character development, and how to work within a group, they will simultaneously learn public speaking, social skills, and how to be comfortable in their own skin.
Improvisation equips young actors to stay on top of the story while riding the spontaneity of the moment—which is a pretty good metaphor for navigating life! Reach out to learn more.
