Gary Rubenstein

Gary is a master of his craft. I learned so much in this improv class. I wasn’t sure about improv and I had stage fright to be perfectly honest, but Gary built my confidence and my skill level and quite honestly I feel on top of the world and ready to tackle anything from the groundlings to UCB. Gary has incredible patience and wisdom and improv chops…. Oh, and did I mention he’s hilarious. He’s a teacher and a mentor and I can’t recommend this class enough.
