David Shepherd: A Lifetime of Improvisational Theatre

Hey everyone, have a look at this. It's a film about the life and work of David Shepherd, the co-founder of the first modern professional improvisational theatre, The Compass. The Compass featured actors such as Allan Arkin, Elaine May, Mike Nichols, Jerry Stiller, Severn Darden and improv guru Del Close. The Compass was succeeded by The Second City.

This feature film was made for the purpose of helping improvisors to know something about the roots of their craft and to see how one of its founders has spent a lifetime exploring improvisational formats. The film was commissioned by the Canadian Improv Games with the intent of making it free to watch and as available as possible to improvisors everywhere.Enjoy!
