In July, 2006 a group of Chicago's top comedy veterans came together for a
meeting...at an Einstein Bagels. They had performed sketch and improv
comedy at various venues for the last decade, but their common link was
ComedySportz of Chicago, where they bonded as a group with one common
goal: laughter. They knew how to entertain a live audience, but they were
looking for something that would last a little longer. So they decided to move
into video. And seven8nine Productions was born.
Seven8nine was the brainchild of Robyn Norris, an actor who decided she
wanted to take her favorite people and put them to work - In a creative and fun
way. The group's philosophy hinges on 'Yes And'. Everyone is open to ideas
and everyone shares in the work. From editing, shooting, makeup, writing,
acting, web design, photography...the list goes on and on. And everyone takes
part.
Seven8nine's players are Robyn Norris, Sam Super, Rance Rizzutto, Deanna
Moffitt, Shad Kunkle, Joey Bland, Hans Holsen, Tara DeFrancisco, and Julie B.
Nichols and Steph McCullough. Their wealth of experience includes
ComedySportz, iO, Second City, the Beatbox, Dave & Co, The Annoyance and
many other independent projects, commercials, and films.
Their goal: to create lasting comedy videos with universal appeal - videos that
encapsulate several genres and styles...much like an improv show.
