ABOUT THE SHOW
Men in Shirts present their deepest and darkest improv to date with “The Abyssâ€. Only by looking into the abyss of ourselves, do we reveal our true desires, fears and secrets. This deep, character based improv “dramedy†will leave you laughing, crying, and considering your own dark side. From a single suggestion Chuck Charbeneau, and Clifton Highfield create truthful monolouges, twisted characters, and tremendous scenes right in front of your eyes.You can often catch this duo at the Improv Inferno in Ann Arbor, MI.
Sorry kids, “The Abyss†is for adult audiences only, and is not for the easily offended. Whether you’re a librarian or a serial rapist, “The Abyss†will find enough darkness and enough light to make even the strangest lives seem normal.
Since 2002, Men in Shirts has brought both "The Confessional" and “The Abyss†to festivals across North America. They have performed in the Miami Improv Festival, the Phoenix Improv Festival, the Toronto Improv Festival, the Kitchener/Waterloo Improv Festival, the Chicago Improv Festival, Snubfest Chicago, and the San Francisco Improv Festival.
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a
monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into
you."
