Testimonials 

Troy Graber, Owner, Spectrumware LLC, KS

I have led brave men and women through dark times: impossible deadlines, internet outages, and meetings that should have been emails. Still, I found Sharla’s improv class funny, friendly, and surprisingly formative. I went in hoping to unlock skills that would make communication easier, and through a very public Existential Crisis, I achieved that. Sharla created a space where everyone felt safe contributing, and her coaching was always clear, constructive, and encouraging. She has a real gift for explaining improv concepts through vivid examples, and every class left me feeling like I had learned something practical. The class was fun every week, but it also delivered meaningful value. Sharla regularly reinforced the key lessons, gave us practical ways to improve, and then helped us pull everything together through the final graduation showcase. Getting to perform at the end helped lock in what we had learned and made the whole experience feel memorable and meaningful. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who has ever been promoted slightly ahead of their comfort zone and would like to act like they know what they’re doing. It is also great for anyone who just wants to communicate better. Come ready to engage, participate, and say yes. Troy Graber, Owner, Spectrumware LLC

"I recently completed the improv class at United Comedy Academy with Sharla Hale, and it exceeded my expectations. Going into it, my biggest challenge was overcoming the fear of my own abilities and wondering if I could actually do improv. Sharla created an incredibly supportive environment that instantly eased that self-doubt and made taking creative risks easy. I gained massive confidence in my timing and instinct. The constructive feedback was sharp, encouraging, and immediately actionable. I highly recommend Sharla's class to anyone looking to sharpen their comedic skills and push past their comfort zone."

"Sharla was a phenomenal teacher. The class had both structure and creative freedom which is often difficult to get in an improv class. It was exactly what I needed to get back into Improv after a while of being on the outside. Definitely recommend!"
