Can performing improv help the smartphone generation enhance their in-person social skills?

Actress and comedian Phyllis Katz believes so, as a long-time member of The Groundlings improv comedy group, and a founder of The Groundlings School. She tells some great stories about The Groundlings Legacy as a launch pad to stardom for many of its performers.

Phyllis has appeared on countless TV shows, and her one-woman show, ”Katz: Music & Characters,” won a Drama-Logue award for best performance.
