Richard J. Krysztoforski

14+ years in improv. Director of Cat’s Cradle Ensemble (year-long Off-Broadway residency). Former house team performer at Magnet and Reckless in NYC. I’ve coached everyone from indie groups to house teams.

I’ve studied improv across the U.S. and internationally, bringing a broad perspective to my coaching. My approach is direct, practical, and scene-focused. I give clear feedback, tailored exercises, and honest notes that make you a better performer and your shows stronger.

I also bring years of experience in teaching and Learning & Development, which means I know how to structure feedback and design exercises that actually help you grow.

I’m not the cheapest coach, and I’m not trying to be. I work best with teams who want to grow, not just rehearse.
