Bring a Brick

by Ben Whitehouse.

When you start a scene, bring a brick not a cathedral.
Possibly Del Close?

This quote has followed me around thought my improv career. I read somewhere and now can’t find the attribution to it. I always ascribe it to Del Close, but as I can’t find it’s source, I’m really not sure any more. There is a very similar quote in the Second City Almanac of Improvisation on page 103. If anyone knows where this quote comes from, please let me know.
