Reid began taking classes at the Bovine in January of 2009 and has had a love affair with improv and theater ever since.
<p>At the Bovine you can see him on Tuesday nights performing with house team Blood and Mints. Reid was cast in the second season of Denver's Next Improv Star.
<p>When not at the theater you will find Reid getting therapy for Middle Child Syndrome, or riding purple unicorns through fried Snickers waterfalls.
<p>"Don't pay attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches."

Elizabeth Fritzler currently plays with Nancy's Apartment and the Flirt Skirts. She's interested in too many things, she's allergic to everything, but she's always up for adventures. She has trouble keeping a straight face--and not just on stage. She joined a Level 1 improv class at the Bovine on a whim, but she now rates it among the best random decisions she's ever made. She thinks she should be impulsive more often.
