With Keith Rains and Ben Michaels

Keith has been improvising in Denver for over 24 years. He trained with Theater Sports, Bovine Metropolis Theater, Rise Comedy, and scores of workshops and intensive sessions with artists from around the country.  

He has coached and instructed at Bovine Metropolis, Rise Comedy, and Boulder Improv Collective.  Keith regularly performs with Makeshift Shakespeare at Chaos Bloom theater, Hit and Run Musical Improv at Rise comedy, and Once upon a Genre at What If Theater in Lakewood. 

Keith believes that improvisation is an expressive art that enhances skills that are part of successful recovery. It fosters being present in the moment, open to what is  possible, and full cooperation and trust of oneself and other member of an ensemble.
