Skyler Davis Lee

Hi, I'm Skyler, a performer, educator, and community builder based in San Diego. I came to the world of improv in 2015 with the intention of taking the 2-month class and moving on but it quickly became a transformative practice that reshaped my life, perspectives and paradigms. During my 5 years as General Manager and Co-Artistic Director at Finest City Improv from 2019-2025, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of improv on individuals from all walks of life. I witnessed over and over students being reborn into their own lives. Powerful, life changing transformations unfolding in front of me. Students gushed about more confidence, better adaptability, way more joy in their lives and so much more - testaments to the power of this art form. After parting ways with Finest City Improv and amidst my reflections, the recurring theme was clear: improv has the potential to heal, connect, and empower, especially in communities that often lack access to such resources. Now, the CEO | Creative Director | Co-Founder 'it's improv' a nonprofit dedicated to bringing the benefits of improvisational theater and applied improvisational training to underserved populations. Our programs focus on self-expression, community building, and personal growth through play. I’m passionate about creating inclusive spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe in the transformative power of storytelling and the magic that unfolds when people come together to co-create. When I'm not facilitating, developing programs, you might find me doing something active and outdoors. I love nature and all its expressions, and all the ways to interact with it. Catch me exploring local art scenes and enjoying San Diego's vibrant culture. #supportthearts! I'm thrilled to continue this journey, collaborating with organizations and individuals who share a commitment to empowerment through creativity.
