In this episode of Heart of the Artist, we were curious as to what it takes to get up the gumption to be a person who does improv theater and what it entails. Central Pa actor, David Richwine shares his experiences of working in improv, and educates our audience about an artform that encapsulates fear, fun, listening, collaboration, and personal growth.

David has been active in Central Pennsylvania theaters for more than 25 years, a comedy writer for almost 30 years, and an improv comedy performer for nearly 10 years. In addition, he has performed in close to 20 major shows in the area.  If you are a fan of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, you may have seen him performing at Open Stage as Bob Cratchit and Jacob Marley in the past few seasons.

He has been an actor in many other productions at Theater Harrisburg, and Gamut Theater group, specifically with TMI improv.
