When the lights come up, the barest of stages is revealed. The players enter, bedecked in elegant Victorian costumes, and a December night on a London street takes shape around them. As they burst into song, you might think this is a scripted musical adaptation of a Dickens story. The truth is it’s all being made up in the moment; songs, music, characters and story improvised on the spot.

These stories take place on a single set, in traditional stage-play style. The improvisers play one character each, and there are no built-in transitions or scene breaks . All the actors have is the bare stage, a simple suggestion from the audience, and each other.

The Naked Stage combines San Francisco’s tradition of narrative longform improvisation with the demands and surprises of traditional theater. In a sense, the actors are “trapped” on stage with only each other. Without the usual exit options (lights, time and location jumps, and other scene-enders), they are left to fully confront the characters and situations which they have created in the moment.

This first of its kind improvised serial production is back for another installment.  We continue to follow the exploits of two “partners” who rely on audience suggestions to help create their evolving characters and decide where the next investigation will lead them.  Murder, blackmail, jewel heists and kidnapping are just a few of the cases these two private eyes might be sent to solve. It's not a comedy, it’s a mystery.

Each show features a guest performer (me! playing MANY characters!) in each installment of Partners in Crime.

Come out and see what one reviewer called “…an improvisational film noir journey somewhere between Castle and Moonlighting.”
