Meet our director...

~Director Since 2004~

Venessa Sanchez... is the Improv U Director and Teacher. She has been teaching improvisational comedy through the city of San Ramon and directing the Night at the Improv shows since 2004. Venessa was part of the first Improv U cast and has been going strong ever since! When she is not busy bringing out the lighter side of life experiences with adults, she is busy taking in all of life's lessons and turning them into comedy. Venessa has performed both long and short form improvisation, as well as scripted theater, and has training in both theater and improvisation. She also makes appearances with the San Ramon Community Theater on stage, directing, and behind the scenes with costume design. Venessa works with Standing Ovations as a costumer, and is currently working on her own production company and theater to be launched in the Summer of 2011.
