Sad Boys performs a character-based monoscene with music. It falls somewhere between musical improv and improv with music.
Seamus Scanlan (Philadelphia, PA) and Joe Partynski (Springfield, MA) have been performing in San Diego as the duo Sad Boys since April 2017. The inspiration for the style and focus comes from a shared love of emo music and the influence it had on both Joe and Seamus in their formative years. The entire show is a look into these two characters as they wander through life interacting with others, with each other, and constantly working on their next "album". Throughout the show, we learn more about their history, their relationships with their families, their struggles with dating, and their connection to each other.
