Dana Malone Heiser
(she/her)
Washington Improv TheaterDana fell in love with improv after her first class in 2011. She loves it so much she decided to marry it (well, a fellow improviser).
Dana is a member of one of DC’s longest-running indie teams, Press Play. She was an original cast member on WIT’s special projects The October Issue, And, Scene! and Improv Actually, and has performed with the WIT Harold Team Breaker Breaker and ensemble iMusical.
A graduate of WIT’s training program, Dana has also studied at The Center for Movement Theatre, The Second City, The Shakespeare Theatre Company and The Unified Scene Theater. As producing improvisation director with TBD Immersive, she leads others in creating sustainable worlds filled with fully-improvised characters.
