Here’s what each member of Tallboy Tuesdays has to say about playing with each other! Come see these demented sweethearts (+ Cerberus + Sonata di Spettacolo) tonight at 10pm for FREE
Cara:
I like playing with them cuz they're all handsome and I love handsome men. Also that we all have unique play styles that let us create absurd realities, but we all commit to that reality and each other to still make our choices seem grounded.
Cam:
When we play together, I don't worry following rules, fulfilling any kind of requirements, or meeting any expectations, I just get to go out there and be weird with my friends and that rules. It's never embarrassing or uncomfortable, it's just fun. I will play with Tallboy Tuesdays until I die.
Nick:
I love that we are always surprising ourselves in new and exciting ways. We've all spent so much time learning all of these rules that we have to follow when improvising and when we play together we actively disregard those rules. We trust each other to make a mess on stage. It makes for the kind of improv we genuinely find funny.
Darren:
We all love creating relatable and grounded content, and we challenge ourselves by asking the question: ‘What if in this slice of life we are presenting, every character had a gun in one hand and were jerking themself of in the other?’ That's our idea of art

Here’s what Sonata di Spettacolo has to say about the way they play! YOU DO NOT want to miss these guys (+ Cerberus + Tallboy Tuesdays) tonight at 10pm for FREE
"The joy of Sonata Di Spettacolo is much like the joy derived from dancing. It’s freeing, it’s fun, it’s expressive and it gets you out of your damn head. The first time we played together we instantly vibed. Matt is a wicked talented jazz musician - capable not just in the drums but also on the Trumpet, Trombone, saxophone, Base, Piano, ETCETERA - with a great instinct as to what a moment needs and how to convey it, and John is very responsive to sound and physically emotive, so we dance very well together. Sonata Di Spettacolo it combines mediums, creating an improv experience that’s truly a spettacolo!"

Here’s what the team Cerberus has to say about each other! Read it, cry, then come see them (+ Sonata di Spettacolo + Tallboy Tuesdays) tonight at 10pm for FREE
Cerberus is a team that plays with an emphasis on kindness and on following the fun in every scene. We want each show to demonstrate how much we appreciate each other, and make you feel like you're up there holding hands with us.
This quote from one of us can be applied to all three of us: “It’s only pure joy to be around these two...this is my favorite group to play with and if I think about it too much I’ll get a little teary.”
New season starts tonight!
