OFF OFF ALUMNI
The alumni of Off-Off Campus are truly what have separated the troupe from its peers. Pulitzer-prize winner David Auburn, writer of the hit show Proof (now also a feature film), was in the Second Generation of Off-Off, and he has publicly stated that Off-Off was his first training ground in scriptwriting. Off-Off's relationship with The Second City is still alive and kicking as well. In recent years, two Off-Off alums, Abby Sher and Tami Sagher, have starred on the mainstage at The Second City--the latter of which is now a writer for Fox's MADtv. Greg Kotis, one of the first members of Off-Off, is now best known for penning the Tony award-winning Broadway musical, Urinetown. Off-Off alums can also be seen in improv and sketch groups around Chicago and across the nation. They are writers for TV and film, they create video games, and of course, they are doctors, lawyers, economists, and scholars.
