Maritza is a Brooklyn-based improviser, improv teacher, and bookseller originally from California's San Joaquin Valley. She taught and performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and Training Center up until the pandemic settled in. She improvised with weekend house team The Law Firm and with Living Room: The First Generation, an improv show based on stories about growing up in immigrant households as first generation Americans. Before that, she performed on Harold Night for two years with At Last! and Party City, and on Lloyd Night for two years with seventeen and the Nightmare.
Maritza previously hosted long-running indie show Kaleidoscope, and has been featured in videos for Disney+, MTVNews, Fusion, and lots of miscellaneous fun friends’ videos. She studied improv, sketch, and characters at UCB Theatre, and history and Spanish at New York University, and sometimes she plays flute! (photo by Alex Schaefe)
