Veteran Chicago improvisers Tara DeFrancisco and Rance Rizzutto have 
been performing together for well over a thousand shows and well over a 
decade. HERE is one of Chicago’s most lauded shows presenting the 
original two-person improvised musical. Chicago Tribune 
Critic-Recommended and called “Nothing Short of Genius” by NPR, this 
show has been brought to 14 countries and 40 cities worldwide. In HERE, 
Tara and Rance get one suggestion to create theme through an opening 
number, design characters and storylines inspired by that theme, and 
effortlessly weave the strings together to discover one piece. Funny, 
beautiful, and charming, HERE “has shown something new and amazing is
