Margaret Edwartowski, Executive Director of Y Arts, believes that people can learn important communications skills through the art of improv. And she’s not alone. Improv is on the rise in Detroit, and Margaret is at the forefront of the movement.
“The main program we have that we’re running through Y Arts is a partnership with Keegan-Michael Key and a lot of the Second City alum that are in Los Angeles,” Margaret said during a recent interview on Michigan Radio’s Stateside program. “We run an in-school improv program in Detroit. We’re currently in five schools and we grow all the time. We’re bringing (improv) to a whole new generation that wouldn’t have been exposed to it otherwise.”
