Having started in 1989, Theatre Strike Force has had over 20 years of graduates pass through its doors. With each class larger than the past, it's hard to guess just how many former Strike Force members are walking around. It may be surprising, but most members of TSF are not theatre majors. As such, life finds graduates of Strike Force throughout all major professional fields. With members having followed career paths covering everything from politics to engineering to medicine, we know, wherever our people go, they will keep on making a scene. Below is a list of those who continue to do it through improv.
