John Abbott started improvising in late 1999 and hasn’t planned out anything since. He’s a graduate of Second City’s Conservatory, iO, and Annoyance, and he worked at iO for nine years. Over those years, he estimates that he’s seen over 5,000 improv shows, and all of them were amazing. He’s performed around the U.S. and coaches several teams. In his spare time, John keeps two cats that he’s trained to attack intruders.

Sally Hepler has been playing the piano since she was five years old. She has a Masters of Music Education from Vandercook and now teaches elementary music and choir in Geneva. She would like to take this opportunity to thank and blame her husband Josh for getting her into improv.
