In Magical Lying Hour one performer follows a memorized script, that the other has never seen it. The result is a surprising and often funny collision between the known and the unknown, as the two performers build a new scene together in real time. Sometimes touching, sometimes absurd, always unpredictable, each performance is a one-of-a-kind experience.
HERE the musical is a feat of improvisation – a two person, fully improvised musical play. Acclaimed as Critic’s Choice in The Chicago Tribune, A-LIST in the Chicago Sun-Times, READER Recommended and Shortlisted, and hailed as “Nothing Short of Genius” by NPR! The players get one suggestion to inspire theme through an opening number, create characters and storylines inspired by the theme, and effortlessly weave the strings together to discover one piece. Not one ounce of music has been pre-conceived before the show begins. Funny, beautiful, and charming, HERE has been called groundbreaking, and “has shown something new and amazing is possible in improvisation” by audiences around the globe. Performed by veteran improvisers Tara DeFrancisco & Rance Rizzutto (feat. musical direction by rotating artists); Inspiration from you, the audience.
