Limited Syracuse Engagement Of A Two Person Hybrid-improv Theater Show Announced

By:

The Contemporary Theater Syracuse proudly presents a limited engagement of Sewer Rats Production of Life in Eight Parts on September 29 and 30 at 8pm at The Genesee Grande Hotel's Mayflower Theater.

Recent SUNY Oswego graduates, Nolan Maher and Spencer Ventresca, who himself is an upstate NY native, have teamed up to explore and unravel their life experiences in a semi-improvisational, semi-sketch show. The production comes directly from its smash opening at the Fringe Arts Festival in Philadelphia.

"Life in Eight Parts is an exploration of intrapersonal struggle and its' subsequent effects on intimacy and friendship," says Spencer Ventresca, writer and director. "It's a ride - what one person takes away from it may be completely different than another but it will definitely be fun for the audience."

"Spencer Ventresca and SRP are an emerging theatrical force to be seen and enjoyed."

- Christopher Carter Sanderson, Contemporary Theater Syracuse founder.
