Flash Family Classics

Flash Family was the longest-running improv group in San Francisco. Sue Walden & Jim Lilie had been performing with Improv, Incorporated at The Old Spaghetti Factory in North Beach, & decided to form their own group, creating Flash Family around 1978. I rescued VHS tapes of FF; these tapes were intended as tools for critique and performance improvement. There may be moments in these tapes that, in light of changes in recent years, some may perceive as offensive for cultural, racial, or gender reasons. They're merely a historical record of Improv in San Francisco at the time of the shows, so please view thru that lens. Many performers with Flash Family went on to other groups, like Rafe Chase, Regina Saisi, & John Remak who perform with BATS Improv; Scott Keck went on to perform with How We First Met & The Un-Scripted Theater Company, John Duncan ended up in Hollywood for a time; Doug Kassel taught improv extensively.
