This game file distills the life work of Improv pioneer Viola Spolin. She directed the Compass Theater, the first professional, improvisational acting company in America.
For the TV generation, Viola Spolin's work led to the Second City Company, which influenced the careers of Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, Robert Klein, Harold Ramis, John Belushi, Bill Murray, George Wendt, Dan Aykroyd, Eugene Levy, Shelley Long, James Belushi, Dan Castellaneta, Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Nia Vardalos, Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, Adam McKay and many others.
BTW, some individuals are listing this for over one hundred dollars, but you can get it for less at Northwestern University Press.
