universal themes and stories...make the Improbable Player's programs appropriate and adaptable for a variety of ages and audiences.

"The Players certainly fulfilled their promise in delivering a strong combination of education and motivation to help students in making healthy choices. After your program many students talked about knowing someone close to them who is dealing with alcohol or other substances. Learning that help is available not only for the user, but the family member of friend, gave comfort and relief to many." - high school teacher

The facility and the comfortability with which the Players were able to share and relate their personal experiences to the issues presented was terrific. I cannot recomment the Improbable Players enough." - freshman orientation faculty
