ABOUT US

Casey Haeg is an improviser, performer, and teacher from Minnesota. She graduated from the University of Minnesota - Duluth with a BFA in Stage Management.  

Casey has been performing in the Twin Cities since 2010. Casey was a main stage performer at ComedySportz Twin Cities, and HUGE Theater. During her time performing Casey realized how important and beneficial improv can be on and off the stage.  She started teaching improv in 2014, and has had the privilege of teaching people all over the Twin Cities the power of "yes, and".  The most important lessons Casey thinks you can learn from Improv are: being present, being open to what is given to you, and being aware of what we are saying (verbally and non verbally).

She is currently living in New Orleans with her husband, and Pug WhatWhat.
