In 1959, the group, called the Compass Players, went on to form The Second City.In 1986, Bernie Sahlins returned to the U of C in order to re-establish improv and sketch comedy on the south side of Chicago. The first generation of Off-Off Campus was trained by Sahlins, and the group continues to build on the foundation he created.In addition to Off-Off's rich tradition, its successful alumni distinguish the group further.
