Christopher Guest directed and starred in this improvised mockumentary about a small-town Missouri community mounting an original musical for its sesquicentennial celebration. The cast, including Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard, Parker Posey, and Bob Balaban, worked entirely from an outline. Waiting for Guffman was the first in Guest's series of feature-length improvised ensemble comedies.
