Andy Barrett
D.C.M. -- Director of Childish Mirth

Andy Barrett has been studying and performing improvisation since the early nineties.  

Andy has produced both improvisation shows and two sons, Charlie and Jack.  It was in his love for his boys that he co-created "KIDding Around", the children's division of IMPROVentures, helping to produce TheatreMakers.  Through his occasional appearances in this show, Andy gets to bring joy and important lessons to children through work in improvisation.

It is Andy's passion to both entertain and make a difference for young people.

Mark Jennings
H.R.M. -- Humor Resource Manager

Mark Jennings is the co-owner of Face to Face Productions, bringing together religion and theatre for audiences who appreciate the value in both.

Mark is a co-creator of TheatreMakers and is happy to step into either role in the show when he is needed for a show.

Rita Mooney
I.T.A. -- Inspirational Training Associate

Rita Mooney has been a staple of the San Diego improvisation community since the 1980s, appearing in multiple troupes and teaching classes for nearly a decade.  Her training is rooted in the belief that improvisation thrives when we are listening, supporting, and committing.

It is through these beliefs that she becomes a strong resource for co-teaching the TEAMprovising™ course with Milo at improVentures.  Co-teaching allows for demonstration and more personal feedback than when TEAMprovising™ is taught by a single instructor.
