Matt began performing improv on the Bovine stage before starting the CU Boulder improv group Left Right TIM. Matt has been rocking shows with LRT ever since.
I am a senior at Lakewood High School. I have been in many shows, mainly at Lakewood High School. I have also been in shows at the Impulse Theater. I plan on pursuing an acting career and professional artist career.
Jessica is a proud Colorado native. She is almost a graduate of Players Workshop West. By day, she teaches elementary school to have a regular, captive audience. Jessica can name any Law and Order episode in five seconds, trash talks about her fantasy football team, and knows every Dave Matthews Band lyric--ever. She's ecstatic to be playing with the fabulous actors in "Sketchers". Thanks to Eric, Denise, Jeff, Carole, and Caroline for their continued support and encouragement.
Karen discovered improv acting in Washington, D.C., but truly fell in love with it here in Denver at the Bovine theater while taking classes. She is a teacher and uses her improv skills on a daily basis. You may also find her playing “games” in restaurant waiting areas or other places that need a bit of fun. Karen is so glad to be a part of the Bovine and all of its antics. Look for the tall one on stage. She will make you laugh!
Rebecca has many loves ... playing improv at the Bovine is one of the top. She graduated with fellow Awkward Silence students and plays with Swimming in Goodness, one of the Battle Royale House Teams. Being onstage takes Rebecca out of her comfort zone ... and the audience's comfort zone too, at times. She is very fortunate to have a loving and understanding husband who looks after their adorable son while she can "get her weird on" at the Bovine.
Chris is a graduate of the Bovine’s 30th graduating class and a dropout of 29th, 32nd and 42nd classes. He is now part of the 46th graduating class. Chris loves to give money to the Bovine!
Chris can be seen on the Bovine stage getting tossed around like a rag doll and beaten by his Battle Royale Grand Champion troupe, “the Generals”.
Scott was born to perform, but is too much of a Capricorn to lead the life of a starving actor. Improv is a great outlet for his frustrated "inneractor". Scott encourages all the white & blue collar closet performers to come out and express themselves freely at the Bovine. Yay!
Rather than listing interesting things about myself, I will only list things I can see right now: refrigerator, some chairs, my hand and pen writing, people, table, Glad ClingWrap, LOVE, red hair, a wall with things on it, air, a new person just entered the room, and now I'm tired. That is all.
Kathleen Boland has studied and performed improv at the UCB Theater in New York and IOWest in Los Angeles. She also took improv and sketch classes at Groundlings, Second City LA and LA's Acme Theatre. She's happy to be home in her native Colorado, where she performs with the Sanscript Players and Dishwater Blondes. When not onstage, she spends her time writing and producing TV shows.
Kat Bond is currently a senior at CU Denver, completing two degrees: a BA in Theatre/Film as well as a BS in French Language (because she doesn't believe in free-time.) She is thrilled to be performing here on the Bovine stage in both On The Spot and Denver's Next Improv. Star. She hopes that you are thrilled for her as well.
Vanessa spends her Tuesdays on the "Guilt by Association Association" house team, during Battle Royale. She was nominated for both a Denver Post Ovation Award and a Marlowe Award in 2007 for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy, for "Not Now Darling!"
Levya is currently a student at the Bovine and loves how 'improv' has impacted her life. She now has a soap box that she carries with her for those times when she feels compelled to proselytize, hoping others will find as much joy in this art-form as she has.
Anna-Liisa is ecstatic to be a member of Elixir, the Bovine's 42nd graduating class! Unable to say no anymore, improv has led her down a creative rabbit hole into theater tech work and art school. She is working toward a degree in art education and illustration at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. Anna-Liisa thanks her friends and instructors in the Bovine community for their laughter and support.
Kent was born in Toronto and raised right here in Denver. He has a BFA in Performing Arts from the Savannah college of Art and Design, and also received training in Improv from Second City Toronto, LA, and the Bad Dog theater in Toronto. He also loves sloths.
I have car shaped like a cow that's riding in a Honda CRV. I like to improv because I can act stupid AND get laughed at. I have been known, in my time, to raise my hands and shout "Woo."
Keith is a cofounder of Pluralsight, a training company for professional software developers and architects.He is the security columnist for MSDN Magazine and the author of several technical books for Addison Wesley. Keith has the crazy belief that participating in improv theatre will help make his classes more fun! Yay!
Linnea Brutlag is the producer and sales director of The Bovine and loves it! Linnea graduated from the Bovine School of Improv, class #31. When she is not producing or selling, she loves being on stage.
Jeff is originally from Tennessee, which explains the really uncomfortable nervous tick. He has been involved in “street” improv for many years, where he sporadically falls down or makes fun little noises with his nostrils in public places, like malls during the Christmas season. Jeff likes Sweet n’ Sour Meats.
