TEEN FOCUS: Punchline from Weyauwega High School, WI

EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH has performed with this troupe twice now. Under the direction of High School Teacher, Carrie Gruman-Trinker, the troupe opened for us at the Gerold Opera House. During the day on both trips (November 2008 and October 2013), EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH performed at the High School. Although a small town in Wisconsin, both shows at the Gerold virtually sold out, thank mostly to the efforts of the Punchline teams marketing the shows and selling tickets to students.

100+ students from Weyauwega are visiting 8 Improv for a show & workshop at the NYC Theater in April 2014.

TEEN FOCUS: Preperatory Academy for Writers, Queens New York

Walt Frasier - co-founder of EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH - was named Director of Instruction for the Comedy Hall of Fame Foundation in 2009. Preperatoy Academy for Writers (PAW), one of four schools in Springfield Gardens High School Queens NY, was the very first school Walter taught LAUGH IT OUT. The growing program is in many Queens schools now. PAW is a Grade 6-12 school and the above photo features some of the 8th Graders in 2012. While the classes taught were for grades 9-12, most of these students started the after school program in 6th grade and quickly became leaders of the program. The short guy is actually Walt Frasier on his knees....

TEEN FOCUS: Steven Prestia

"I've wanted to be a comedian since I was eight years old.  I started out taking local acting classes but what I really wanted was comedy.  When I was twelve, my parents found Gotham Comedy club's Kids N Comedy, which is  where I took my first comedy class.  Once I got a taste of being on stage I was hooked.  I attended Comedy College with Governor's Comedy Club and currently I take classes with Improv 4 Kids.  I have been with Improv 4 Kids since I was 13.  I have learned so much these last two years.  Improv is my favorite thing as it is quick thinking and challenging fun.  My goal is to one day be a Saturday Night Live cast member so sketch comedy is the way I want to go.  I enjoy making up characters the voices that go along with them.  Improv 4 Kids has given me opportunities to be on stage and feel secure with a team that supports me no matter what."

Steven Prestia currently performs regularly with Improv 4 Kids ands now takes IMPROV 4 TEENS classes every Sunday.
