Teacher Biography:
Leslie Boudreaux Tidwell – Lead Teacher – Leslie has been a part of the Lafayette improv community since 2016. After taking Levels I-III classes with the Silverbacks, she founded a new troupe called The Weaning Process with her classmates. Since then, she has joined an all women’s troupe called RagTag and a musical troupe called The Tempo Tantrums. Leslie’s favorite part of improv–and the reason why she tries to tell it to pretty much everyone she meets–is feeling a connection with both her fellow improvisers and the audience during a performance.
Haley Anslem – Assistant Teacher – Haley is a local improviser with roots in film acting. She was introduced to the art of improv through Silverbacks’ classes and hasn’t turned back since. She is a current member of The Weaning Process, Plural Noun, and Splorange while also having performed with the likes of Tempo Tantrums and Cult of the Stage Monkey. Having worked with such diverse troupes, Haley has come to love many different styles and forms of improv. What Haley loves most is that improv is a collaborative effort in which you really never know what will happen!
