New Orleans Improv Fest: Gladys

Lightening Fast, Thunderously Weird. Jacob Simmons, Michael Greene, and Tim Casper, collectively known as improv powerhouse Gladys, have a combined 40 years of active improv education and experience. Having studied at places like iO, Groundlings, The PIT, Second City, and UCB they found a comedic chemistry amongst themselves and a common desire to bring their brand of high-octane improv to the stage and beyond. In 2023 Gladys founded Faraway Theater in Birmingham, Alabama, as a place to see shows, take classes, and build a dynamic improv scene.
