KEYSER SPARTACUS
Who is Keyser Spartacus? Friend or foe? Criminal mastermind or meek receptionist? Loving parent or professional assassin? Combining suggestions pulled from the real life experiences of our audience, and monologues from the lives of our improvisers, Keyser will be created from the ground up, portrayed by multiple characters, and sent on a brand new adventure every show. Whether he/she ends up being a hero or a villain will depend on the characters Keyser meets, and the important life decisions Keyser makes along the way.

The premise is simple. Truth inspires great improv. A guest monologist improvises true stories, and a cast of some of the best improvisors of the SF Bay Area improvise scenes inspired by these truths. What follows is a patchwork of truthful artistic play at its finest.
