I’ve been directing Improv and offering classes in Comedy Technique for 13 years, but Fall 2009 I proudly crossed one off on the old bucket list — I was asked to teach the Art of Improvisation for 10 MFA students in the Dramatic Arts program at UNC Chapel Hill. Instead of a full semester we met 3 hours per day for 2 intensive weeks. It was an incredible experience to work with these 10 truly talented and studied performers, actors who ALL (at least by the end of the process) BELIEVED in my work and the church of improv.

Today I officially start my SECOND year of IMPROV 101 for MFA Students at UNC. I’m working now to offer improv and comedy writing modules at multiple North Carolina schools for programs in 2012.

Ray Dooley (UNC Professional Actor Training Program) recommends Zach Ward as MFA Improv Instructor

… “I am impressed with Zach’s knowledge and with the rigorous and passionate way that he teaches.”
