The Unscripted Project

This fall, we launched our NYC program, our very first semester bringing The Unscripted Project to five New York City classrooms.🗽

Students shared how improv helped them connect with each other, communicate more confidently, and feel more like themselves. These reflections capture exactly what arts-based social-emotional learning can unlock when students are given space to play, take risks, and be heard.

We’re so excited to continue growing in NYC.

Teaching Artist Highlight: Tara Gadomski 💛

Tara shared how improv has helped her stay present, listen more deeply, and build better relationships—skills she brings into every classroom. Some of her favorite moments as a TA come from watching students cheer each other on, open up to someone new, and build mini-communities through improv.

Fun fact: Along with English, Tara speaks Portuguese and Hungarian, which sometimes comes in handy with our students!

You can also catch her in a recurring role on Dope Thief on Apple TV+ (filmed in Philly).

We’re so grateful for Teaching Artists like Tara who show up with heart, creativity, and care 💛
