Today on Improvly Speaking, we hear from Tony DeRosa, owner and co-founder of hear.say brewing + theater, a new improv theater and brewery in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tony blends his love of improv with beer, business, and community building, and is sharing it all on today’s episode. 

Tony's story is a great example of what can happen when you follow your instincts, lean into creativity, and allow yourself to take big, joyful risks. Tune in to hear how Tony got into improv, why he founded here.say brewing + theater, and how he has created a sense of community through his new business.

Please note: We recorded this episode in May 2024 before the brewery was fully open and operating. Happy to report that the brewery is fully open, and they have food and improv classes going on too. If you’re in the Ann Arbor area, be sure to check out hear.say brewing + theater!
