Pickler’s Paradise is a vertically produced comedy series developed as part of an educational acting and media training initiative designed to support emerging creatives in New Mexico.

The project is a fiscally sponsored project of Improv New Mexico™, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Through hands-on training, collaborative storytelling, and real-world production experience, Pickler’s Paradise helps participants build artistic skills, professional confidence, and pathways into the creative workforce.

Charitable funds raised in support of this project are used exclusively for arts education, media training, and community-based creative development, in alignment with Improv New Mexico™’s mission to strengthen New Mexico’s creative ecosystem.

Pickler’s Paradise was developed as part of an educational acting and media training program led by Story Quest Studios. The series reflects Improv New Mexico™’s commitment to creative incubation, workforce training, and accessible opportunities in the performing and media arts in New Mexico.
