Event Duration: 60 minutes
No sets, no props, save for two or three black chairs, and only a suggestion from the audience to begin. This style of contemporary theatre fluctuates between comedic, sentimental, light hearted and dramatic. The Sparrow Men is a totally improvised snap shot of the lives of real, three-dimensional characters, their relationships, and the world they inhabit. Every show is a totally unique, never to be repeated, experience.
Marcus and Andy have both trained at the world famous iO Theatre in Chicago, where the likes of Mike Myers, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler studied and performed. They perform, teach, and coach weekly with the largest Chicago-style, improvised theatre company in the Southern Hemisphere: The Improv Conspiracy.
