Elizabeth Cutler
Washington Improv TheaterDespite repeatedly telling everyone that improv is "just like real life, only onstage" Elizabeth still briefly panics before every show that she will have nothing to say, which honestly explains a lot about her approach to real life.
Often described as a “theatrical child” growing up (wait, was that not a compliment?), Elizabeth auditioned three times for her college improv troupe and never got a callback. It’s fine.
A speedy seven-ish years later, she took her first WIT class and never looked back. In addition to her years in WIT’s Harold program and being part of WIT special project The Fourth Estate in 2019, Elizabeth performs regularly with indie teams The Can’t Evens and Lava Kids (a former Harold team). She is also a proud founding member of the Spanish-speaking improvised telenovela team Sábado Picante.
Outside of improv, Elizabeth is a playwright, copywriter/editor, and writer with bylines in District Fray Magazine, Hey Alma, and Well + Good. Her love language is when people read/watch/listen to something she recommended.
By day, Elizabeth works in communications for a national security research organization. Outside of improv, her passions include dabbling in creative writing, urban hiking (walking to Trader Joe’s), and scripting her own Lifetime biopic, tentatively titled “Per My Previous Email: The Elizabeth Cutler Story.”

As a teacher, she loves helping new students experience the joy and benefits of improv by fostering a supportive and fun learning environment and encouraging beginners to take (safe!) risks as they find their own truth in comedy. Some of her favorite classroom activities include Five Things, Convergence/Mind Meld, and connecting almost any improv concept to Friends or Frasier.
