The Essential Services Project reboots with new shows live in San Francisco!
After 92 Essential Services Projects, John Fisher will embark on his first duo ESP with actor/singer Nick Giovannoni. As with all the projects, ARTS IN AMERICA will be developed and rehearsed over a single week, but it will be performed by Nick and John, who will collaborate on the story. This onstage collaboration by two actors is a first ever for the ESP. John is excited to collaborate with Nick, a performer he admires and has known since 2018. Nick leant off-stage songs to John's recent ESP Eisenstein.
SYNOPSIS:
Dick and Jack are artists in America, where there are many opportunities, if you create them yourself, and lots of money, but not for you. In spite of day-jobs, annoyed bosses, and impossible families, they will create!
