  Brad is a fabulous teacher. He is able to give meaningful and constructive criticism to help us improve and keep us feeling good about what we're doing and how we're progressing. I find this very valuable. He is also succinct which I love. He gets to the point and then moves on leaving more time for performing. His sense of humor comes into play in all aspects of his teaching which makes the whole experience so uplifting and FUN FUN FUN. Love Brad!!

  Brad's passion for improv comes through strong in his classes and ignited a similar passion in me. His classes are so much fun, while at the same time, challenging and push you to become a better improvisor. He really takes the time to find out about and care about his students. The classes are personalized based on individual needs and I have benefited so much from this. Brad is an amazing teacher and a wonderful person.

  Brad's a perfect instructor for beginner Improv. He's patient and supportive, and doesn't hesitate to let you know when you've done well with a good-natured chuckle.

  Brad also knows his stuff. He wrote his Master's Thesis on Improvisational Theater (correct?), and has an instinctive understanding of humor. His instruction was very useful and informative, but it's almost as useful just being in scenes with him and watching him work. Being in his class built my confidence on stage and even in the real world.

  Review of Brad Fortier, November 12, 2009

  I've taken two classes from Brad and plan on a third. He is a generous, helpful and fun instructor who creates a feeling of safety teaching something that's pretty intimidating -- improv! Brad's style is perfect for the way I learn -- he asks the right questions, gives feedback and guides as needed. In general, his positive nature is what makes him such a good teacher, as well as being highly skilled in what he's teaching. I highly recommend taking a class from Brad!

  Review of Brad Fortier, April 01, 2009

  Brad created an environment where everyone felt comfortable. It took no time at all for the group to become bonded. I felt that I learned something new every week, and the small class size (8 or 9 people) allowed each of us ample playing time. Brad obviously knows his stuff when it comes to improv, and he's happy to teach it. And he always asked for feedback and discussion, which was great. This class led me to continue doing improv. Thanks, Brad!
