Kendra Nicholson

Kendra has a background in theatre but discovered the world of improv while living in the Los Angeles area and realized that she would never have to wear a corset or memorize lines again, and she was hooked. She performed and taught with “Held2gether: Improv for Life” in Long Beach, CA, as well as guest performing and directing with multiple troupes in the area before returning to her home state of Missouri. She is delighted to have found Springfield Improv and be a full-time student working on her Master’s in the Clinical Mental Health program at Missouri State University.
