Board of Directors

If you thought Highwire Improv was a sentient online entity creating all of this magical goodness…you should take an improv class!

In reality, Highwire Improv is a non-profit organization with a Board of Directors, Committees, and Community Members (we don’t currently have any paid staff). Each group contributes to the organization in a really important way. If you’re interested in seeing us work, having a voice, or getting involved, watch this page for our open community meetings, or reach out to ask about helping out with one of these fine committees.

The board of directors is legally responsible for the organization, and serves key governance, financial, and regulatory functions required to keep Highwire Improv in good standing. The Board of Directors is also accountable for the activities of the committees and provides strategic guidance and planning for the organization. The board currently consists of six members:

Barry Wright, III (president)
Brian James O’Connell
Brian Shea (vice-president)
Cory Anotado
Dr. Katie Overbey
Kristen McKenzie (treasurer)

We have one Director Emeritus, who serves as a non-voting board member, co-founder Geoff Taylor.
