ANNE VEAL (she/they) is a creator / performer / educator who specializes in improvised and ensemble-devised theatre. Currently she teaches at Third Coast Comedy Club and Unscripted and is developing bespoke corporate workshops with the Arts & Business Council. She taught improv in NYC from 2016-2020, helped run a start-up theater, and developed an Instant Teams program which gave over 300 improvisers a team, a coach, and stage time to develop their chops. They’ve performed internationally with Rapid Fire Theatre, Det Andre Teatret, and the Vancouver International Improv Festival. Anne’s devised and scripted work has been seen in Washington, DC; Prague, CZ; Chicago, IL; Basin, MT; Louisville, KY; and NYC, housed in theatre spaces, haunted mansions, and historic buildings. She believes the surprise and accident of the moment is the greatest gift we can train ourselves to receive, onstage or off.
