Instructor: Alex Tate Beall

Alex Tate Beall grew up in Midlothian, VA and fell in love with improv at Coalition in 2012. As a member of some of the first house teams, she played pretend with her new besties for years before heading to Chicago to study at iO Chicago, Second City, and CSz Chicago. She’s taught independent workshops and coached indie teams in Chicago and Wisconsin. Performing at various festivals across the country, shes developed a love for relationship and slow, meaningful, organic play in improv. After five years working in TV & film production in LA, she’s back in town and thrilled to be a part of Coalition again sharing her love for improv and the present moment!
