Reno 911 Cast: Del Close Awards @ Improv Olympic West
Del Close was one of the titans of improvisational theatre who put it on the map, refined it, and turned it into the fixture of comedic and acting technique which it has become. Close devote his artistic life and best theoretical thinking to it and at a time when most improvisation mainly focused on creating single scenes, Del devised the Harold as something not unlike a sonata form. Going to this from conventional sketches was like going from arithmetic to calculus. Close's own boundless, sometimes manic drive as a charismatic teacher and director have done more to establish improvisational theatre around the world than anything or anyone else.
