Asaf Ronen's guide will soon become THE resource to helping directors of improvisational theater bring their best work to any show, and insightful coaching to any ensemble. Draft manuscripts have been floating around since early 2005, but the book has recently been released by YESand.com Publishing in partnership with DSI.
About the Book

The book contains examples from varying schools and philosophies and interviews with such respected improv luminaries as Armando Diaz, Michael Gellman, Kevin Mullaney, Mick Napier, Dan O'Connor, Shira Piven, Gary Schwartz, Todd Stashwick and many more.

About the DSI and YESand.com relationship
"An immense amount of gratitude go to Dirty South Improv, a growing company dedicated to the art of improvisation, who helped make the launch of this book possible. It is with great honor that I feature their logo on the back cover. I hope there is more that YESand and DSI can create in the future."
