This letter is in reference to the article regarding the improv classes at the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center [February 16]. In that article it was stated by Carolyn Minor that they “took over” the Live Bait Theater improv class at the facility. That is incorrect. Live Bait Theater is currently conducting classes there. Our programs are running concurrently.

Our most recent session of improv classes began on February 21 and is planned to run through April 11. Our last block of classes began October 6 and ended December 8 of 2006. I find it hard to believe that all the people interviewed for this article were unaware of this fact.
When Anna Greanias-Wright informed us that Minor and Kinney were going to be teaching a second class together on Sundays, we were happy that the classes were being expanded. The Cook County Juvenile Detention Center is in great need of arts programming for the residents who reside there, the more the better.
