Final Foxtrot
Dave Jennings and Tyler Samples These Two can be seen performing in their two man/one man performance group “Final Foxtrot” which jumps in and out of character, and in and out of improv– in fact, in and out of reality during a typical 30 minute set.

Final Foxtrot is performed by Dave Jennings and Tyler Samples, and it is described as a “two man/one man improvised theater piece” where the actors take over each other’s characters and further the depth and development by reflecting the relationship from the opposing players point of view. This leads to a complete string of scenes that seem to bleed in and out of the characters minds. The senes are revisited and characters interact with relationships from their lives and sometimes with themselves.
Dave Jennings and Tyler Samples have trained at some of the top schools of improvisation in the world, but their unique experiences and educations have given them a desire to not merely improvise, but instead connect with the audience and expose real thought provoking experiences while still nodding to the audience that in the end, this is improv… we cannot really jump off a building on stage, but if we bring the audience with us, the emotions, the tricks of theatricality, space work, mime, and physical comedy, we can create the feelings of shared experiences between the audience and the characters brought to life on stage.
