K.C. Redheart

Chicago

K.C. Redheart presents Mythos, an improvised Myth. People love stories. All people do. You do. We know you do. Myths are really, really good stories. Powerfully good stories. Epically powerful stories that are good. And awesome.

They deal with primal things. Essential questions. Questions like... "How good can a man be?" and "As good as a God?" and "Is a god even good?" Wow. Story AND philosophy? And feeling? Heart? Yes. Awesome. K.C. Redheart presents Mythos, an improvised epically awesome, primal story with feeling and heart that asks the deep questions. And jokes and stuff.

K.C. Redheart is a Playground Theater house team from Chicago. Thrown together three years ago, this rag-tag group of strangers grew into exactly what a recent TimeOut article described them as, a "nimble ensemble." A true synergistic cast of actor/improvisers that violates natural laws and honors cliches by being greater than the sum of its parts. The only thing the Redhearts love more than improvising together is a challenge. Their anual 30 hour improv marathon satisfies both those loves. With over one billion years of combined stage experience, they can ALMOST guarantee a good show every time.

"This nimble ensemble dives in full with total abandon and manages a highly entertaining Guffman-esque lampoon of community theater." - TimeOut Chicago
