I am deeply indebted to the gifted improvisers of Freestyle Repertory Theater, who have contributed to the development of this work throughout the course of many years. In addition to the amazing original cast of Play by Play, the project has benefited from the inspired talent of Michael Durkin, Kat Koppett, Christine Turner, Sam Cohen, Michael Rock, Debbie Rabbai, Adam Felber, Dan Diggles, and Mark Temares, our inspired lighting improviser.

Most of all, I am indebted to Laura Livingston, the artistic director of Freestyle Repertory Theater. In addition to her sheer intelligence and humbling talent, it is her passion for improvisation, her vision for its great potential, her insistence upon holding it to its highest of possible standards, and her deep respect for the actor’s art that have allowed an untested, intellectual concept to blossom into a living, breathing piece of theater.

The cast for the original production of Play by Play was Laura Livingston, Hugh Sinclair, Wendy Dillon, Clara Rodriguez, and myself. It was set in a bathroom.
