Our Purpose: The See Why Improv Troupe is comprised of 35 high school students who seek to educate, empower and inspire people to become leaders for positive change! Using theater improv games, we raise awareness about many important issues affecting youth today, including substance abuse, violence, media influences, diversity, and inequality.

Our Cast of Players: The troupe is led by Katie Paul, who has an extensive background in drama and has worked with CVU’s Robin Fawcett in the past. Student members of the troupe commit to remaining substance-free, acting as positive role models for their peers, and rehearsing regularly with the group.
