Dr. Nico Zaunbrecher has performed, directed and taught improvisational theatre in over 400 shows over the last 25 years. Starting with the still-running Cult of the Stage Monkey at University of Louisiana–Lafayette in 1999, he completed a Ph.D. in Performance Studies at Southern Illinois University–Carbondale, focusing on culture, theory and history of improvisation and spontaneity. He has taught communication and performance at Lenoir-Rhyne University, South Louisiana Community College, and Southern University, and published research on improv and social theory in the journals Theatre Topics and Human Studies. He is currently Artistic Director of Silverbacks Improv Theatre and one-half of the improv duos Two for the Road, Lonelycrowd and Encounter En-Canto.
Sarah Brasseaux jumped into improv in 2024 just hoping to get more comfortable speaking in front of people. She never imagined she’d be part of an actual troupe, but now performs with the Mawgawita Babies and is hooked on the fun of being onstage. Outside of improv, she co-runs a software development company, volunteers in her community, and stays busy with her family. Improv has brought her confidence, new skills, and some amazing friends and she’s excited to share that joy with others.
