Alyssa P. Lee
Instructor
Alyssa (she/her) is an improviser and actor from Columbus, MS. She began performing in 2011 with the troupe Out of the Box, where she discovered a deep love for how improv brings a group together and gives a special space for open and safe creativity. Since then, she has trained extensively, completing the Anubis Improv curriculum multiple times and embracing every moment of insight and discovery it offers. Stepping into her role as an instructor, she brings over a decade of stage experience, a strong group mindset, and a, hopefully infectious, excitement for the art of being silly and making things up together.
