The Second City is proud to host a Double Feature of solo performances: Split! & Shatter. This dual set features Second City e.t.c. alumnus Nicky Margolis in Split! and current Second City Touring Company cast member Pat O’Brien in Shatter.
Split! is written and performed by Nicky Margolis; she plays with themes of self-indulgence, over-indulgence, and over-indulging in herself. The evening is filled with show-stopping musical numbers, audience interaction, and horny old ladies.
Shatter is written and performed by Pat O’Brien; in his new one man show he portrays a cornucopia of characters, shattering your image of live theater. He also shatters a world record each show. Literally.
The show opens May 27, 2008 in The Second City e.t.c. theatre and runs on Tuesdays at 8:30pm until July 29. Tickets for Split! & Shatter are available by phone at 312-337-3992 or on-line at www.secondcity.com.
