Gwendolyn Bogard
(she/her)
Washington Improv TheaterGrowing up, Gwendolyn was really into "Whose Line is it Anyway?" or as her family called it, "Four Men on Stools."
After training as a theater actor, then doing a sick 180 to become a chemist, Gwendolyn was a little dizzy, so she took a break from performing. Years later, Gwendolyn moved to DC and took a WIT class to make friends, and she realized improv games were way more fun than memorizing Shakespeare monologues. Today, she loves committing HARD to the bit – the more outrageous, the better – and finding moments of sincere human connection in the midst of a bonkers improv scene.
Gwendolyn was born and raised in Oregon, and she has yet to escape the cult of Pacific Northwest fandom. By day, she talks about science to policymakers. By night, she crochets and tries to keep her cat, Linguini, from stealing and eating her bread.
