“For over two years of my career as an actress, improviser, fitness technician and art model, I have had the opportunity to surround myself with comedy and to study it through La Nuit, which has provided me with classes, shows to study, rehearsals, workshops, hours and hours onstage, standup, festivals, and more; also to mention, annual Dirty Santa Christmas parties, parades, bbqs, family, friends, and maybe just enough interesting bartenders to write a show about...

I just had a comedic role in my first feature ever called The Chaperone. It is WWE's and directed by awesome Stephen Herek and it was a joy to work on. I felt confident and ready to play and say yes largely because that is how we train at La Nuit, and I like to play.

So to all, I say, thank you for kind and generous support from all directions. I give my love, my thanks, and the toppest shelf watermelon-flavored Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill you ever tasted to Yvonne Landry for fostering great training and times in our yellow submarine theater with purple trim.”

“I began taking classes at La Nuit during a very difficult time in my life, and I was very nervous, but through these classes I found a renewed sense of creative energy in my everyday life as well as in my art. I am still in the rough a bit but going to class and being part of a team has given me excitement and purpose I have not had recently. I am more confident and proud of myself, and with that has come growth as an individual and artist. In fact, I have a new series of paintings inspired by the methods of improv being taught. The way that we learn to think in class has opened my eyes to a new way to look at my painting. I was a fervent young actress in my teens and going into college but lost a great deal of confidence in auditioning, these classes have ignited my passion once again for acting. In short, during a very sad time for me, I have found not only laughter but that I am capable of giving it to others, a sense of belonging, and self confidence. I am so glad to be a part of this theater, you really have no idea. Everyone I have met and worked with is so supportive and with such a foundation I feel like I can grow to be become a real entertainer.”

“Improv has made me less afraid of public humiliation! And so. . . I pretty much do whatever I want now.”

“My experience of improv at La Nuit has been less like exercise and more like exorcism.
La Nuit has allowed me to remain an artist no matter what I do in life.”

-Lindsey Crow

“Improv is like Jedi training for an actor, especially for film. I've taken classes at La Nuit and have found that I book more roles, I'm a lot more confident, have more fun at auditions, and just have more fun in life because of it. Yvonne is an excellent teacher and takes the intimidation factor out of learning improv. If you are an actor and you haven't studied improv, you are missing the boat!!”

-Armando Leduc

"Improv classes at La Nuit are a contagiously joyful thing, and the wonderful lessons I learned there are applicable everywhere. Yvonne taught me how to find the funny on-stage and in every day life, and got me thinking about every parking ticket and stubbed toe as a research opportunity.
If you want to laugh and smile and inspire the same in others, take these classes.
If you want to meet incredible and creative people that will inspire the best in you, take these classes.
If you want to learn about exactly the sort of men you should not date as drawn from Yvonne's extensive repertoire of ex-boyfriend anecdotes, take this class."
