Aimee got interested in improv when her son did a teen improv class with a WIT teacher and it looked like a lot of fun. When she had the chance to take an improv class herself it turned out that it really was as fun as it looked!
She has formed several improv teams that do original formats, and that perform at venues and festivals around the DMV. Currently she performs with indie teams Girass!, Sic Hoc Verum Est . . . , the Sleepovers, and with the WIT Harold Team Late Night Coffee.
She has dabbled in stand-up and was in WIT’s The Feminine Experience, a show of improvised monologues. Since completing the WIT curriculum, she has studied at the Annoyance Theatre in Chicago, and trained in physical comedy and Meisner acting technique.
She encourages others to share the joy of improv by facilitating “And Wiser Improvisers”, the WIT affiliate group for older improvisers.
Her non-comedy alter-ego, Aimee Imundo, is a lawyer who has brought her non-profit and governance experience to WIT and other theatre boards in the area.
She is also an active supporter of in-house pro bono engagement, legal diversity and inclusion, and women’s issues. She initiated an award-winning pro bono medical-legal partnership in Washington DC, and recently served on the D.C. Circuit Judicial Conference Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services.
In recent years, she has returned to her writing and performing roots and has dived in to the WIT improv curriculum, sketch writing, and performing stand-up comedy. She is a founding member of indie team Sons n’ Roses, appeared in this year’s The Feminine Experience at WIT, and performs stand-up comedy under her stage name Aimee Lee Savage.
