"Being a CIG coach has become such a cornerstone of my career as an educator. I wish my school had it when I was a teen and I have seen the amazing things it does for our students."

"The skills I learned in improv have paid dividends in the rest of my life!"

"The joy of loving competition is an experience like no other. I'm so proud to be a part of a community that puts kindness over competing"

"At my little school, the theatre community sometimes feels small, and it's so important for my students to see that there are like-minded people everywhere. I have seen my students form lasting friendships with improvisers from hundreds of kilometres away. This program has the power to connect people."

“It’s amazing that an organization that meant so much to me growing up is back at it. It’s so exciting to be able to instil a love of improv in next generation of Sudburians/Northern Ontarians.”

“Playing in the CIG tournaments in high school opened up the doors to a whole community and art form that is now a huge part of my life. I’m so grateful and hope everyone has the chance to experience the magic of the CIG’s!”
