“You need William Hall’s The Playbook:Improv Games for Performers. Seriously. It is the ultimate reference book for anyone involved in teaching, studying or playing improvisation. Willam has assembled the definitive collection of short cut reminders of games and exercises. When I was the coach of the Stanford Improvisers, I ordered hundreds of copies of this valuable book in its earlier incarnations. The new edition is hands down the most useful and comprehensive book of its kind.”
