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 getting burnt out from training as a theater actor, Gwendolyn made a hard pivot into chemistry and thought she’d left performing for good. Then, after moving to DC for work, she took a WIT class to make friends. Years later, Gwendolyn has become fully ensnared by this goofy art form, and she’s still friends with her Level 1 classmates. Gwendolyn loves committing HARD to outrageous ideas 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.
