Update #11: The Outstanding Gary Austin
Interviewing Gary Austin for "Improv Legends" was such an honor. He founded The Groundlings and is an exceptional improvisation teacher, writer, and director. In addition, he worked directly with The Committee and Del Close.
Gary graciously spent over an hour with us sharing stories from his past and insights into the work. One of our favorite stories was the first time he met Del Close and we would like to share this clip with you.
We will continue to post clips and backer-exclusive clips every day this week as we hope to reach our goal. We are 70% there and have a week left to go.
Thank you for your support.
