We love hearing from the teachers who see our program in action every week.

Across three different NYC schools, the feedback tells a consistent story: students who step outside their comfort zones, build real confidence, and keep asking to play the games long after the residency ends.

Swipe through to read what educators at Corona Arts & Sciences Academy, Queens Valley School of the Arts, and Isaac Newton Middle School for Math and Science had to say about their experience with The Unscripted Project.

Thank you to every teacher who partners with us to bring this work into the classroom.💛

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."

This fall, we launched our NYC program, our very first semester bringing The Unscripted Project to five New York City classrooms.🗽

Students shared how improv helped them connect with each other, communicate more confidently, and feel more like themselves. These reflections capture exactly what arts-based social-emotional learning can unlock when students are given space to play, take risks, and be heard.

We’re so excited to continue growing in NYC.
