Life in an urban city is very comforting - we have the convenience of facilities that aide our daily routines. But even when we often feel it, we tend to overlook the duality of this life - a life that has us do plenty but that which gets hardly anything done. In this Improv show, we will look at the various facets of an urban dwellers life from relationships, work and the stories that line in between. 

We are also very excited to have two amazing improvisers join us in this performance - Rebecca and Rich Sohn. Both of them come from Second City in the US.
