About
Madeline Parquette | Acting Coach
Learn Acting and Improvisation from an Industry Veteran
Have you ever seen a professional improv troupe at the top of their game? Where everyone’s in the moment, upping the stakes, and firing on all cylinders? There’s nothing like it! Nothing matches the hilarity and edge-of-your-seat excitement. We’re surprised at every turn because the actors are there, surprising themselves at every turn.
Here’s what some people miss: the skills and training that make a great improv actor are the same skills and training that make a great actor. Listening, reacting, remaining present, making a bold choice, committing to the bit—all of this directly carries over to the worlds of film and TV, period plays, dance, musical theater, and beyond.

About Me
I’m Madeline Parquette—new to the St. George area after many years in the entertainment industry as an actress, model, improv performer, documentary filmmaker, video producer, and acting coach. In the course of my career, I’ve lived and worked in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, learning from some of the most outstanding actors and directors in both film and theater, including at Chicago’s Second City—the training ground for so many alumni of Saturday Night Live.
I now have the opportunity to pass along this same training and insight to the students I coach and mentor. As kids and young adults immerse themselves in the craft of acting and improvisation, they find the same thing I have: freedom. Freedom to be themselves, to walk into a room with confidence, and to trust in their own instincts and abilities.
Our vision
Our vision is to create a nurturing and creative space where children feel confident to express themselves freely. We aim to inspire young minds through theater, helping them discover their voice, imagination, and inner confidence.
