Not since the Hal Ashby and Robert Altman films of the ’70s has improvisation been used well for dramatic purpose. Instead, as Curb Your Enthusiasm and the brilliant films of Christopher Guest have made clear, improvisation is now a comic medium, and a successful one at that. Guest’s This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind top any list of improv’s greatest moments. This latest incarnation of MoMA’s Great Collaborations series unites stars from those films: Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, Parker Posey, and Bob Balaban. Tonight’s event includes an acoustic performance by the Spinal Tappers, and conversations with the rest. Scripts not included.
