The Crow

With over seventeen years of experience teaching acting to young performers, Mickey Blaine has developed a system for young actors that teaches the tenets of serious acting in a relatable and engaging format. In addition to his work in film and television, Mickey has worked with children and teenagers in school and camp settings, so he knows how to make learning fun while giving the tools they need to succeed in the professional world of acting.

As a professional stand-up comedian, Nicole Blaine can be seen in her own special, Life's a Bit (but don't let your kids watch), on Amazon Prime, or on E's That Morning Show or NBC's Today Show. She's also traveled across America as a stand-up comedian and as a professional hosting industry panels to help educate her fellow comedians. Additionally, Nicole has trained a ton of "regular people" to perform as stand-ups in her hit show, Virgin Sacrifice, where first timers had to perform after professional comics like Howie Mandel, Damon Wayans and Pete Holmes. Add to that Nicole's degree in teaching and her years as a teacher and camp counselor, and you have the perfect person to teach stand-up to kids and teens.

Together, Mickey and Nicole created and ran The Crow Comedy Camp where kids learned stand-up, sketch and improv for a week, then performed for their family and friends on The Crow's main stage. Before that. they produced and directed the stand-up special, Burning the Light, for HBO and several other live comedy shows, web series, and independent films. 

Both Mickey and Nicole take annual background checks, and they're fully insured.
