Eric and his wife Denise Maes then founded the Bovine Metropolis. They have been in business for over 15 years and operating the space at 1527 Champa for the last 11 years.

Rick Rothenberg has been performing improvisational comedy in Denver since 1998 with all sorts of people and groups. He will soon be seen in the comical yet erudite "Makeshift Shakespeare" and the cooperative yet competitive "Denver's Next Improv Star". Rick is fascinated by the many parallels between architecture, nature, computers and improv. He also owns an iPad.
Yvette loves to make people laugh! Improv officially took over her life in 2005 (Bovine Class #29 graduate) and she just can't get enough. She just moved to Chicago with her boyfriend (and fellow Bovinian) Dave Karasik to further pursue their dream of performing improv and sketch comedy in the big city! She's written and performed in 8 ACME sketch comedy shows at the Bovine. She was Lady Capulet in "Redneck Romeo & Juliet" at Dangerous Theatre and a player in "Biography" at the Bovine in 2010. She was a cast member in "On the Spot" from 2007-2011, the "Thursday Night Throwdown" house team MooCrew from 2008-2011, and performed in various other improv groups around Denver. She's also proud to say she was in the Final 4 in "Denver's Next Improv Star" 2010 and was the Featured Improviser for GroupMind Foundation's Denver Spotlight in December 2010. Yvette was a teacher at the Bovine and loves working with students! Outside of the theater, she was Tizzy on The Dom and Jane Show on MIX 100. She's very excited for her new adventure in Chicago!
