The Unscripted Project

We recently sat down with Brandon Dzirko, improviser at the Upright Citizens Brigade, for the first installment of our Interviews with Professional Improvisers series! 🎉
Brandon shares how improv has helped him handle uncertainty at work, connect with new people, and let go of the fear of embarrassment. His biggest takeaway? "We all do improv every single moment of our lives."

We had a blast with our Teaching Artists at our Spring Training Day last weekend! Stoked for another semester with this incredible team in Philly and NYC. 😊

There are no mistakes in improv — and that idea can be transformative.💪🏻
In our programs, students learn to take the fear out of “failure,” roll with the unexpected, and turn challenges into creative opportunities. Those skills don’t just stay in the classroom. They show up in friendships, presentations, problem-solving, and everyday life.
