Louis Anthony Russo
was our teacher & friend.
For over ten years, his theater,
The Star Theater in Scottsdale, Arizona,
taught both comedic and dramatic
improvisation and stand up comedy.
All of us were members of his highly
successful improv troupe,
"The Oxymoron'Z". He gave us our start,
and pushed us to be great.
Louis passed away in December of 2000,
but his presence is forever with us,
yelling at us if we..."go for the joke",
yelling at us to, "Get Over It!",
and praising us for trying
to break new ground.

-God Bless you Louis...
and thank you.
