@terrancerogers
I create memorable live experiences through acting, hosting, improvisation, and interactive learning.
What I'm looking for
I’ve performed, taught, and hosted live experiences across Chicago, Amsterdam, and Europe. At The Second City, I performed as an on-call understudy for Mainstage, GreenCo National Touring Company, and e.t.c. revues while teaching improvisation, character development, scene work, comedic timing, and storytelling.
At Boom Chicago, I wrote and performed in Meta Luck Next Time and Boom Chicago Into the Metaverse for multilingual audiences. I also hosted conferences, corporate functions, weddings, and special events for clients including Nike, Amazon AWS, Exness, the Netherlands Ministry of Defense, OMV Group, and SAP.
I build welcoming spaces where people can take creative risks, communicate clearly, and have fun. My workshops at ComedySportz Chicago focused on professional communication, teamwork, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving.
I also bring a strong customer-service foundation from Broadway In Chicago and Apple, where I supported patrons, ticketing operations, and technical customers. I’m a Chicago-based actor and creative facilitator with a love-led vision for engaging diverse audiences.
