Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, this is Paul Zuckerman with the cast of Chicago City Limits here in New York City, and today we're going to show you some techniques for improvisational comedy. Improvisational actors are creating something really out of nothing. Three things you want to create on stage when you start off is a who, who you are, what, what you're doing, where, where you are. Let's see if they can do it. Mr. Goldberg, you said you wanted to see me after school. That's right Tommy. You were struggling. You see to be struggling in my algebra class today, so I wanted you to come see me in my office here so we could talk about the difficulties you were having. I think I'm in love with Susie Parker. Every boy in that class is in love with Susie Parker. I know, I see you giving her the eye too. I'll give you an A. Deal."
