Barrow Street Theater
TJ & Dave
TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi come from Chicago's Second Street Theater. They create one hour, long-form, improvisation plays.
"The comics TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi miraculously improvise a one-hour play at every performance. This is an impressive feat of mental athletics, but the results are also observant, complex and frequently enormously funny."- NEW YORK TIMES
"BRILLIANT, HEARTBREAKING, MIND-BLOWING, INSPIRING! The best 50 minutes of improv comedy that we’ve ever seen. But we wouldn’t want to insult their effusive skills by speaking so simplistically. Also, it’s funny. Drink their Kool-Aid."- TIME OUT NEW YORK
"TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi, two of the world’s finest practitioners of the art of long-form improv, create an hour long one-act play. They’re both great actors and have amazing improv chops, but it’s always hard to notice these kinds of thinks when you’re peeing your pants laughing."- TIME OUT CHICAGO
"the cumulative effect of their spontaneous storytelling is breathtaking"- NYTHEATRE.COM
"without-a-net derring-do brand of theatre"

Bill, I so enjoyed your blog on your life in New York City. I could not understand why a Texan would choose to live in NY, but I can say you made a great decision. It looks as if you all are living the good life and really enjoying your new home. I really enjoyed the videos. I am sure that everyday brings new adventure. Mickey and I have enjoyed our trips to the Big Apple but never have enough time to see everything that we want to see. You have found the solution to that problem. I am looking forward to reading about more of your activities. I do hope you will plan on a trip to Texas for our class reunion. It will be a time of reuniting and rekindling old memories. I often think fondly of our float(while in jr. high) down the creek in the old cut off car tops...bet you have long forgotten that adventure!
