Aren Chaisson is a trained actor and improvisor with over 20 years experience, and teaches Talented Theatre in Lafayette Parish. His most recent performances were as Huey P. Long in The Kingfish at the ACA and Mr. Reed in These Shining Lives with Abby Players.
Al Cravins is a Baton Rouge-based comedian and improviser with over three years experience, currently performing with Just in the Femur in Baton Rouge and Silverbacks Improv Theatre in Lafayette. She's passionate about growing the local improv scene--hosting shows, leading workshops, assisting with classes and generally poking her nose into any comedic performance that will have her. From a childhood spent riffing with her siblings to mastering small talk like she's "yes-and"-ing onstage, Al sees improv as a lifelong passion and an essential skill--one she does not plan on giving up anytime soon.
