Improv Short Form

Jocelyn Hillen

Coach

ocelyn has been performing, coaching and teaching both long and short form improv for over a decade- Arcade Comedy Theater being home base. She was on the very first set of Arcade house teams all the way back in 2013 (where she met her husband!) , and has also performed with and coached house teams with SCIT and the late, great Unplanned Comedy Warehouse. Over the last few years, she’s co-produced B!tch Please with Mary Quick, and is on The Latchkey Kids. She’s been a frequent  camper and 2 time counselor at Camp Improv Utopia East and Yosemite, and has been so lucky to have her love of improv comedy take her on adventures all over the country- her favorite being trips to the Del Close Marathon in NYC.
     Jocelyn is also a theatre professional, earning her BFA in Acting from the now defunct University of the Arts (RIP). Over the past few years she’s performed with Prime Stage Theatre, The Pittsburgh Savoyards, South Park Theatre, The Bobcat Players, The Pittsburgh New Works Festival, as well as a few roles in short films and promotional materials. Some favorite roles have been Masha in Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike, Caroline Bingley in Pride and Prejudice, Irene Adler in Sherlock Holmes and the Web of Deceit, and Mary in Caught in the Net.  She’s proud to be represented by The Docherty Agency, and during the day is a full time Data Strategist, which kind of kills the vibe of this bio.
     You can see her on the Arcade Stage this fall, as well as playing Lois in Wonder of the World with the Bobcat Players.
