History
Michael Lewis founded Empire Improv in the summer of 2007, because the mountains in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are lame, but the improv is great and in Reno the mountains are great but the improv is in short supply. After years of improvising in LA Michael relocated to Tahoe for the mountains and while the mountains were great, he still wanted to continue improvising so he started teaching improv classes in the summer of 2007. Empire had there first performance in January of 2008, Empire has been teaching and performing improv in Reno ever since. Now Empire has three teams performing, three levels of classes, and shows and classes weekly.
