Meg Powers has been improvising for four years. Improv found her during a time of transition in her life, and she found that it opened up a new way of thinking, listening, and connecting. Meg has trained almost exclusively with Unscripted Productions and credits Unscripted and the entire team of the Alexanders for developing her as an improviser. When she’s not improvising, she’s helping her clients thrive through physical therapy in her own business, running distance races or after her 3 kids, or spending time outdoors.
