“If a scene fails because a player makes a wrong move, the whole group must share the blame if they didn’t justify the move. Each improviser shares a small portion of responsibility for the piece on stage. They must focus their concentration on the work of the group — not the work of any individual.”

— Close, Halpern & Johnson, Truth in Comedy
