Ed Doris has been an improvisational actor for fifteen years. First, as a ensemble member of Lighten Up Improvisation company where he co-directed their High School Improv League. During his time there he studied under local improv master teacher and Lighten Up founder Trish Berrong.  He has performed in an ensemble directed by MIck Napier, author, founder and Artistic Director of The Annoyance and award winner Director of over 15 Second City reviews including their 50th anniversary show, studied with stage legend Del Close, founder of long form improv and the man who trained Bill Murray, Gilda Radner to Chris Farley and Tim Meadows. Ed is founder and Artistic Director of The Trip Fives. This group produces Improv Thunderdome, a competitive improvisational tournament and Bare TV, an improvised talk show. Most recently, Ed has studied with former artistic director of The Second City training center and master improvisation teacher David Razowsky. It was here that Ed became introduced to the Viewpoints theory of acting adapted by Ann Bogart and Tina Landau for stage. It is the Viewpoints theory that informs the bulk of his workshops while offering a survey of the schools of thought that govern The Annoyance and Improv Olympic, two of the most renowned Improvisational theaters in the world. Ed's experience has taught him to embrace the moment, be aware of his partners on stage, to agree and accept change with the whole body and find the emotional truth of the scene. All concepts that are the foundation of his teaching style.
