THE REVIEWS ARE IN!

Chicago Reader Recommended "Chicago Fusion Theatre brings together Jesus's newly recruited Apostles for a First Supper....The character work and set elements of this hour-long show, directedby Nilsa Reyna and conceived by Jakub Haczkiewicz (also Jesus), are smart and funny. Highlights include a clever video mimicking a sitcom intro and a rousing brawl choreographed by Greg Poljacik."
--Chicago Reader


"...12 Hungry Men is just fine..." "...12 Hungry Men is just fine...Haczkiewicz, as Jesus, emerges from the audience, chatting with theatergoers in a warm, humorous and avuncular watch him ad-lib with latecomers as they stumble in...Chicago Fusion Theatre bills itself as highly physical, and a choreographed 12-person fight is no easy feat to pull off."
--Time Out Chicago


" ...12 Hungry Men is indeed funny..."
"...12 Hungry Men" is indeed funny... The show is best described as "interesting"-not euphemistically, but legitimately thought -provoking...The greatest aspect of this "bromance" is believability, aided by common-man dialogue and characters reinforcing the fact that the most magnificent events can, and do, occur among the most normal settings." -- Centerstage

Chciago Fusion Theatre Teaches a Lesson in Bromance!


Chicago Fusion Theatre presents its third production,12 Hungry Men, an improvised play conceived by Associate Artistic Director, Jakub Haczkiewicz. With more cutthroat competition than a reality show, and more controversy than a True Hollywood Story, this hilarious 60 minute performance explores the story of Jesus and the twelve pioneers of “bromance,” exposing a time overlooked by historians and theologians: The First Supper.Under the company’s mission to celebrate physical-based theater, Chicago Fusion returns after their critically acclaimed production of Charles Mee’s bobrauschenbergamerica, tackling the improvisationalstyle of HBO’s wildly popular Curb Your Enthusiasm. “I have always appreciated Larry David’s self deprecating humor combined with his candid, unapologetic honesty. Fusing together established movement with improvisational comedy presents a unique evening of unending predicaments,” says Artistic Director Nilsa Reyna, as she directs a diverse cast of 14 Chicago actors.Featuring: Javier Dominguez, Sentell Harper, Jakub Haczkiewicz, Drew Wancket, Ronaldo Coxson, Tom Bambara, Timothy Bambara, Tim Martin, Ryan Morton, Natalie DiCristofano, Matthew Peterson, Miquel Nunez, Mike Cherry, and Sergio Mojica.
