Annual Report FY17
POTUS Among Us • Photo by Jeff Salmore

As national stress levels seem to reach new highs every day, WIT
provides catharsis, discovery, and escape to more and more
Washingtonians. Our classes bring people together and get them out of
their heads. Our performances inspire laughter and levity.
Our work is a light in the dark—fueled by the power of spontaneous
creative play. Our growing community is a testament to how people
are responding to our positivity.

FY17’s mainstage programming was more
ambitious and innovative than ever before.
WIT pushed the boundaries of longform improv
to find new ways to connect with audiences.
Shows
POTUS Among Us
In its fourth quadrennial run, the election satire
POTUS Among Us was WIT’s most audienceimmersive
show ever. The production, which drew
cast members from multiple WIT ensembles,
centered around participatory democracy and
received praise from The Washington Post as well as
a five-star review from DC Metro Theater Arts.
iMusical Tenth Anniversary
iMusical members past and present celebrated
the company ensemble’s tenth anniversary at
the GALA Hispanic Theater for a one-night-only
performance. The show featured alumni from
Chicago, LA, and NY, who united in improvised
song to celebrate the milestone and raise money
for WIT’s creative programming.
iMusical member Jaci Pulice:
My favorite iMusical moments all
have heart and the songs that have
stuck with me are the ones with
emotional truth and weight.
iMusical brings realities to stage and
makes people laugh, applaud, gasp
and sometimes (if you’re like me) cry.
Citizens’ Watch
Inspired by the British TV series Broadchurch,
dramatic production Citizens’ Watch told a new
tale of a small-town murder each night. The show
also brought WIT’s production values to a new
level with its impressive technical design. It was an
audience hit — imbuing typically light improv with
the effects of shock, tension, grief and horror.
Michael Hendrix (Director):
The humor, when we’re doing it right, is coming
from a really different place than most improv.
It comes from the characters themselves being
funny out of sincerity ... And there’s so much
tension to break in this show, I think it’s ripe for
moments of laughter.
Melanie Harker (Co-Director):
I was interested in putting together
a cathartic theatrical experience that
would allow us not to feel so helpless with
the barrage of craziness that this election
cycle has served up.
Finalist for the Mayor’s Arts Awards
As a testament to the excellent work of our company ensembles and project shows, WIT was named
a finalist for the Mayor’s Arts Awards for Excellence in the Arts in fall 2016. These awards are the most
prestigious honors conferred by the District on arts organizations.
10th Annual
Improvapalooza
Improvapalooza continued to feature oneof-a-kind
experimental performances for
nearly 900 audience members. Highlights
of this year’s series included the dance
stylings of a toddler in “Baby Modern
Dance” and visual art representations of
scene work in “The WIT Museum of Post-
Postmodern Improv Art.”
4th Annual District Improv
Festival
Produced in alliance with District Improv,
The Fourth Annual District Improv Festival
brought in record audiences. All of WIT’s
company ensembles were featured, and
teams from all over the country performed.
Chicago duo Dummy headlined.
Harold team Tiovivo

Fighting Improv Smackdown
Tournament
The Fighting Improv Smackdown Tournament
(FIST) drew record audiences as the March
Madness-style tournament entered its eleventh
year. This year, four-person teams were
allowed to compete for the first time, with
Childish Things (pictured) taking home the
coveted championship. Nearly 300
improvisers competed in the tournament.
Rise Up! Performance Series
Childish Things
In the wake of the presidential election, WIT’s
community of artists felt a jolt of creative
restlessness and channelled it into Rise Up!—a performance series highlighting diverse perspectives
which took place over the weekend of the inauguration and Women’s March. Guest performers from
New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and more took the stage.
Vagina! An Improvised Monologue Show
This one-night-only all-female show combined improv with vulnerable truth-telling to benefit House
of Ruth, a local organization that provides comprehensive services to the victims of intimate partner
violence and their children. Directed by Annie Barry (WIT ensemble Nox!) the show featured members
of multiple WIT ensembles and Harold teams.
Growth in Enrollment and Gains in Diversity
In another year of record-setting enrollments, WIT
placed its focus on inclusion and diversity in FY17.
Classes
Within our core multi-level curriculum, WIT reached 1,545 enrollments. Over the past three years,
WIT’s enrollments have increased by early 40%—a testament to student satisfaction and positive word
of mouth. In this era of growth, WIT has maintained high ratings on student surveys.
In order to underscore the importance of representation in our classes program, WIT made gains in
increasing the diversity of our faculty. The percentage of classes taught by women in FY17 increased to
42% from 33% in FY16. Notably, spring 2017 saw the first time more than half the classes were taught
by women. WIT increased the number of classes taught by people of color to 17 percent in FY17.
Expanding Harold teams
The Harold team family continued to grow, expanding to seven teams. Over the course of the year, the
Harold team program featured 93 players, including 39 players new to the program.
Harold team AstroMom
Improv For All Expands
In FY17, WIT expanded the scope of its
Improv For All workshops, which continue
to reach every ward of DC. More than 50 of
these free, 2-hour workshops were held in
FY17, and over 700 participants attended.
Diversity Scholarship
Program Debuts
In April, WIT launched its first diversity
scholarship. WIT has committed to
increasing diversity among the voices and
talent in DC’s improv community, and we
believe this work starts in the accessibility of
the classes program. The scholarship covers
the cost of the entire curriculum for selected students, with the specific aim of increasing racial and
ethnic diversity. In our first quarter of awarding the scholarship, we supported seven students.

Cohort of Students Finishes Curriculum in Anacostia
With the support of an East of the River grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities,
WIT has programmed subsidized classes at Anacostia Arts Center for two years. In November 2016, a
cohort of eight students finished the WIT curriculum entirely at Anacostia Arts Center with Education
Director Jonathan Murphy personally teaching the cohort’s final two classes.
Camille Kashaka, Director of the Anacostia Arts Center:
Of the many stories from people who have taken WIT’s classes in
Anacostia, there is one common theme: taking improv classes with WIT
helps people overcome themselves to be more confident and liberated.
Youth Programming Expands
WIT grew its youth programming in FY17, including
work in DC Public Schools. With the assistance of
a Creative Spark grant from the DC Commission
on the Arts and Humanities, WIT provided improv
workshops at schools such as Murch Elementary
and Moten Elementary.
In all, WIT provided 22 improv workshops for more
than 300 young people free of charge.
Building Offerings for Advanced Improvisers
In FY17, WIT more than doubled the number of WIT University workshops offered. These learning
opportunities allowed more improvisers to build unique skills in stand-alone, specialized sessions with
expert facilitators. Instructors included Butt Kapinski creator Deanna Fleysher, Second City’s Jamie
Moyer, Magnet Theater’s Megan Gray, and Second City’s Frank Caeti.
WIT also offered multiple new 8-week, advanced elective classes to the curriculum. These classes
included two sections of Improv Personal Training with Dan Miller, the Evente format with Annie Barry,
the monoscene with Reaves McElveen, and multiple sections of Intro to Musical Improv with iMusical
accompanist Travis Charles Ploeger.
Record Growth
for WIT@Work
Engagements
and Participants
WIT@Work came into its own in FY17, far exceeding its
goals in engagements and and individuals served.
WIT @ Work
WIT dramatically
increased its WIT@Work
engagements from 38
trainings in FY16 to 60
in FY17—its biggest year
of growth to date. The
program reached 2,000
participants from a wide variety of organizations including new clients like Discovery Communications
and grocery chain Lidl (pictured below).
Returning Satisfied Clients
Nearly half of WIT@Work’s FY17 engagements
were with returning clients, including the
National Institute of Health, Capital One,
the University of Maryland, and Goodwill
International.
Adding Notable Clients
WIT@Work added many exciting new clients to
its roster, including the likes of the World Bank
and NPR, who used WIT@Work to develop
their workplace efficiency—a testament to how the program is broadening its reach across various
industries throughout the DC Metro Area.
Following a successful training with WIT, NPR’s Claire O’Neill wrote:
Regardless of the medium, improv skills would be useful to anyone who has to
think on the fly — a reporter who acts as “talent” or a producer who is
problem-solving behind the scenes; an interviewer or an interviewee.

WIT Welcomes Jordana Mishory to Staff Role
In May, Jordana Mishory became WIT’s fourth full-time staff member. In the
newly created role of operations manager, Mishory supports and oversees
projects across all areas of WIT’s programming. A longtime teacher, coach, and
performer with WIT, Mishory has also been active behind the scenes, helping
plan Improvapalooza for the past four years as well as serving on the board of
District Improv since 2014.
Five New Members Join WIT’s Board
WIT welcomed five new members to its board of directors this year, each
contributing a diverse and impressive skill set to the advancement of our
mission. Deborah Cotter, Terrell Fuller (pictured), Graziella Jackson, Jaci
Pulice, and Krystal Ramseur all joined the board in FY17.
WIT in Space Fundraiser
WIT is laying the groundwork
for even bigger and better
things to come.
Organization
In May, WIT embarked on its greatest voyage yet—the journey towards a permanent home. At the
WIT in Space fundraiser, the community came together to enjoy food, drinks, and improv in support of
WIT’s quest for a permanent theater space. The event not only ignited excitement for the future of our
community, but launched us towards our fundraising goals by generating over $40,000.
DC Commission Awards WIT Heritage Grant
The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities renewed its support of WIT as a Heritage Grant
Program recipient, providing over $90,000 in general operating support for the upcoming DC fiscal
year. The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation increased its support for WIT as well.
Three-Year Strategic Plan Concludes
FY17 brought a three-year strategic plan to a close. The plan, instituted by the board in May 2014,
outlined objectives that guided WIT’s growth over the time period. WIT is now entering a new threeyear
strategic plan, created with input from the board and community stakeholders.
Tracking Diversity to Assess Efforts
WIT continues to track racial and gender diversity at every level of the organization including student
enrollment, teachers, performers, directors, staff, and board members. The number of women in
performing in company ensembles (from 33% in FY14 to 39% in FY17) and Harold teams (FY14 40% -
FY17 53%) has increased. WIT’s board is 63% women.
Non-caucasian players in ensembles, Harold teams, project shows - FY16: 17 / FY17: 18. Non-caucasian
students in WIT classes - FY15: 16% / FY17: 26%. WIT’s board is 37% non-caucasian.
Sexual Harassment & Discrimination
Prompted by a national discussion on the topic, WIT worked on strengthening its Sexual Harassment
and Discrimination policy. Using feedback from a stakeholder survey and expertise from WIT’s board of
directors, WIT ensured that its policy is readily accessible (http://www.witdc.org/discrimination) and
that lines of communication are open and reliable for community members that need to report.
