RSVP to Dean & DOOM Celebration
Dear Merlin Works Community, You are invited to a special event: Hug Your Dean and Meet Your Doom! For the past few years, Paul Normandin has done an amazing job of leading Merlin Works. He's added new Storytelling, Stand Up, and Specialty Classes, built new show formats, hired amazing teachers to our program, and more. Paul is stepping into retirement to focus on writing, directing, storytelling, performing, and most deservedly, relaxing. I (Grace Pinegar) have stepped forward to take over Paul's duties and more at Merlin Works as the new-ish Director of Operations and Marketing. To celebrate Paul and give me a chance to say hi, you’re invited to a celebration at Mister Tramps on August 11th starting at 6 pm. We’ll meet in the back room to share in toasts (first round is on us!) stories, and general gratitude for this community of artists. Please RSVP so we have an idea of how many to expect. Best, Grace & the Team

Voyage Dallas: Conversations with the Inspiring Shana Merlin
Today we’d like to introduce you to Shana Merlin. Shana, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today? When I took my first improv class, I sucked. I was terrible at it. I mean, we would go around the circle and everyone would have their turn and when […]
