Erika Sasseville’s love of improv started young, first by watching “Whose Line is it Anyway?” then by playing it herself when she started doing theater in high school. While pursuing a BA in Theater from the University of Minnesota: Duluth, Erika took her excitement for improv comedy to the next level when she led a student improv troupe during her junior and senior year. After graduating, Erika joined Black Dirt Improv and now leads their second team: Black Dirt Improv Lite.
