It was David Shepherd’s vision to create Compass. He and Paul Sills co-produced Compass (1955 – 1957), after working together on the Playwrights Theatre Club (1953 – 1955). Compass directly led to the creation of Second City (1959). David Shepherd went on to produce other Compass companies from 1959 – 1964, in St. Louis, Washington DC, Boston, Hyannis MA, and New York. David Shepherd also created the Improv Olympics with Howard Jerome (1972) which inspired the Canadian Improv Games (1977) which was created by Jamie “Willie” Wyllie and Howard Jerome.
