*The Committee was a San Francisco-based improvisational comedy group founded by Alan Myerson and Jessica Myerson. The Myersons were alums of The Second City in Chicago. The Committee opened April 10, 1963 at 622 Broadway in a 300-seat Cabaret theater that used to be an indoor bocce ball court in San Francisco's North Beach. Arthur Cantor took the company to Broadway in New York in 1964 for a limited engagement at the Henry Miller Theater. This occasioned a second group to hold the fort in San Francisco. Morgan Upton, Peter Lane, Leigh French, Chris Ross, Howard Hesseman (who used the name Don Sturdy), Nancy Fish, Peter Bonerz and Carl Gottlieb became the mainstays of the San Francisco troupe.
*In the late 1960s, The Committee was asked to form another company to perform in Los Angeles. Peter Bonerz, Mel Stewart, Barbara Bosson, Jessica Myerson, Richard Stahl, Kathryn Ish, Garry Goodrow, Howard Hesseman, Carl Gottlieb, Chris Ross and Rob Reiner were the stalwarts in Los Angeles. The revolving group of players presented satirical political comedy in San Francisco until 1972.
*The alumni who advanced to higher profiles include: improv guru Del Close, who later worked with Saturday Night Live players like Bill Murray; Howard Hesseman, who later played Dr. Johnny Fever on the television sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati; and Peter Bonerz, who later played orthodontist Jerry Robinson on The Bob Newhart Show and who became a television director. Barbara Bosson later married Steven Bochco and was a regular on Hill Street Blues and numerous other television shows. Leigh French became a regular on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and later established her own voice-over looping company. Roger Bowen played Col. Blake in the movie M*A*S*H and wrote 11 novels. Carl Gottlieb co-wrote the screenplay for Jaws with Peter Benchley. Alan Myerson was nominated for an Emmy and Directors Guild of America directing awards during a long career in television and movies. David Ogden Stiers was nominated for two Emmy awards for his time on M*A*S*H. (WIKI)
