The Bearded Company is coming to The Magnetic Theatre in March 2022!
Since 2006, The Bearded Company has been taking audiences on fully improvised adventures. In 2014, the Beards expanded their reach into Los Angeles. The group has created many sold-out shows including Swords and Sorcery: The Improvised Campaign, Bearded Manor, and their mainstay Epic Adventures.
They now also have a new hit podcast, Break the Dice: The Improvised Campaign, created out of their D&D-based stage show. The Bearded Company also performs and teaches on tours and in festivals throughout the country and Canada. Whether they’re at their home theaters in LA or Minneapolis, on the road, or online, expect the unexpected.
We reached out to Paul Vonasek, a member of The Bearded Company to find out more about him and the upcoming performances and workshops The Bearded Company is bringing to The Magnetic Theatre!
1. How did you get into improv?
Joe Rapp, Matt Pitner, and Josh Stenseth were holding on auditions in college. I’d always loved Whose Line, and wanted to eventually get to second city. Sounded fun!
2. What's your favorite sketch comedy show / podcast / group?
Too many to name - but right now I’m loving I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.
3. What do you hope students will walk away from your workshops knowing?
That they are powerful and even more powerful when they lift each other up. And also fart jokes.
4. What do you think audiences will be talking about on the way home from your shows?
The fart jokes. But hopefully, something they did that night that they are proud of.
5. How is working with The Magnetic Theatre different from working with other theatres or venues?
Positive collaboration is truly the best. Magnetic is thoughtful and intelligent!
