I switched careers at 24 and thought it was too late. I started my first business at 30 and thought it was too late. I began posting on social media at 40 and thought it was too late. The truth? Everyone has their unique timing and it's never too late to change your life.

One of the joys of being an improv director and teacher is watching my students grow and put their skills to work. So proud of Pan performer Simona! Check out the trailer for their upcoming short film here: https://t.co/q9ruQKNYo6
