Dave Buckman is a director-teacher-improviser. He started out studying and teaching in Chicago, before becoming the Artistic Director of Boom Chicago in Amsterdam. He has directed at The Second City in Chicago and Cleveland before moving to Austin in 2005. We talked to Dave Buckman about directing at The Second City and Boom, why the growing Austin improv community plays nice together, and what it’s like performing with his wife, Rachel.
Thanks to Joseph Dailey & Cene Hale for the great opening!
