BERG
Improv • Elmhurst, IL
Matt Sterenberg & Micah Sterenberg
A two-year-old Micah welcomed Matt into the world in 1986. Early in the fall of ’87 their mother insisted that they rehearse tirelessly, date and night, stopping only to go to school or occasionally eat. 24 years and hundreds of thousands of hours of rehearsals later, that show is now ready for the stage. This is that show.
