Mandy Khoshnevisan

Mandy Khoshnevisan has been performing, teaching, and directing theater and improvisation for just about 20 years. She grew up in southern California somewhat near the ocean, which was a nice place to live. She first met improv in 1996 as a freshman at Stanford University, where she went on to receive her B.A. and M.A. in English. Since becoming a teaching artist, she has worked with children from elementary to high school. While in the Bay Area she performed with many improv groups including BATS Improv and the Un-Scripted Theater Company. Currently she lives in Portland, OR, where she teaches at Northwest Children's Theater, performs with multiple theater and improv groups, does all kinds of other artistic work, and makes things. Managed Mischief is her first book.
