Solo performing artist Peter Michael Marino (Desperately Seeking the Exit, Late with Lance!) presents his newest creation, Show Up.

This comedic, anti-social experiment and improvised solo show is based on the odd, enlightening and troubling life experiences of members of the audience while also examining social-anxiety. The audience will not only be the subject of the show, but will also lend a hand in running sound, lights and set changes while guiding the show's direction. It both spoofs and celebrates what we know to be a one-person show.

Says creator Peter Michael Marino, "Rehearsal is overrated. After writing, memorizing and performing my other shows for years at dozens of fringe festivals from Hollywood to Edinburgh to Adelaide, I've decided to just show up and make one happen on the spot. The goal of Show Up is to provide a funny, surprising, entertaining solo piece that moves the audience - while lovingly poking fun at the beloved genre that made me the internationally ignored artist that I am."
