Dave Powers

Dave was in my level 1 and 2 improv classes at the PIT. At the beginning of each class we went around and talked about what brought us to improv. Dave told the most touching story about he had started doing it for a friend who had died. The passion that he showed in those moments truly inspired me.

Dave is one of the strangest and most interesting people I've met in this city. He is hardworking and independent and a great friend who calls just because he genuinely cares to know "What's up?".

Every time he posts on a a facebook wall he leaves a lolcats picture. He makes references he knows I won't understand, sometimes because they are just out of his head. He's a joy to work with on stage and although there is very little similar about our lifestyles, he inspires me to follow my heart because he has gone through some incredible hardships and continues to smile and pursue his dreams.

Dave, I know you read this, here's to you buddy.
