ROGER ANDERSON
In 2014, Roger embarked on his path as a co-founder of the Station Theater, where he and his business partner, Jessica Brown, took charge of Station Theater Improv Conservatory and founded the Creative Communications and Applied Improv program.
A decade later, Station's Applied Improv program has evolved into a thriving institution, providing diverse applied improv services and teambuilding events that have left a dynamic imprint on companies across Houston and beyond.
Roger holds a Bachelor's in Marketing from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. In improv theater, Roger has credentials from several Austin-based programs and LA's Upright Citizens Brigade Improv Conservatory. Roger leverages his education and experience in both his roles as a business director and senior faculty member. Whether guiding beginners around the fundamentals or advanced students through form intensives, Roger strives to shape students for laughs on stage and help shape their personal creative paths with a passion for creativity and communication.
Outside of Station, Roger has led out-of-state workshops and has acted as an outside clinician for other theater institutions.
