JAMIE WRIGHT & SAM SHAW ON "THE COMMITTEE" 

Jamie Wright and Sam Shaw began their work on the San Francisco improvisational theater group The Committee and their comedy of resistance in 2010 when they produced The San Francisco Improv Festival and hosted The Committee as part of the show.

Driven by an interest in the history of improvisational theater, Wright and Shaw's project began as an oral history effort. It has evolved over time into multimedia celebration and exploration of The Committee's legacy and activism, including a convening of The Committee for their 50th birthday party, a co-production of a Larry Hankin solo performance at The Marsh in San Francisco, YouTube shorts, and a feature-length documentary film (in production).

How to watch the presentation online
