Morgan Upton on the top left was a dear dear improvisor and teacher in San Francisco for many years... great to see him here.

[vistuskos]

[albertherz]

One of the early improvisation groups- The Committee from SF

you'll see Howard hessman using his stage name Don Sturdy

[TheRachakins]

that was funny.

[corey949]

Wow. This brings me back to the summer of my 23rd year when I briefly worked for the Committee in LA as stage manager and understudy. I then spent 3 years as part of, first the "Committee Workshop" and later after going off on our own, the "Synergy Trust" We did Mondays at the Committee's Tiffany Theatre on Sunset. We were mentored by the legendary Del Close in Long Form improv, but the Emotional Symphony was a mainstay opening number. And that most certainly is Howard who used to be Don Sturdy

But Gary doesn't refer to the blond guy as Howard, so maybe that isn't Hesseman.

Search for "The Committee" (improv group) on Wikipedia, to find out more about their history.

[TheGeorgiaof212]

that is definately howard hesseman

and it's Garry with 2 r's

[ldixon11]

Thanks for this!

Two of the performers are long-time friends of mine... the lady in the yellow pink outfit is Latifah Myerson Taormina; the conductor is played by Oscar Rusdi Lane.

The fellow with long blond hair looks like Howard Hesseman.

[laneluci]

[ldixon11]

Hi Luci - very long time no see!

This is Leonard Dixon - I used to live next door to your family, in the Echo Park area.
