Been Quote by Tracie Thoms
“The L.A. theater scene is very different. The perception has been that people who love theater do theater in New York. The people who want to be discovered do theater on the side in L.A. But there are people who are very dedicated to theater who love theater in L.A.”

![“That's why I love improvisational theater so much - you do it [scene] once and then it's done. You don't get bogged down with a lot of preplanning and repetition. If I do something and it gets a laugh, I don't want to do it again. Why bother? I'm just repeating myself. It's boring.” quote by Amy Sedaris](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/70d/amy-sedaris-2847_boring_that-s-why-i-love-improvisational-theate_1636232.jpg)
