About 3 FOR ALL:
Having met in the late '80s through the improv company Bay Area Theatresports (now BATS Improv), 3 FOR ALL (Rafe Chase, Stephen Kearin and Tim Orr) formed an ensemble in the summer of 1996 to pursue their distinctive brand of high-stakes theatrical improvisation. 3 FOR ALL regularly plays to sold-out houses and rave audience reviews in the San Francisco Bay Area. They've enjoyed equal success in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Austin, and Amsterdam.
RAFE CHASE did not know that "improviser" was a career option while growing up in Oakland, California--yet he intuitively spent an inordinate amount of time pretending. It paid off. Within a few months of taking his first improv class in 1978, he was asked to join the San Francisco group, Flash Family. Since that time Rafe has been a consistent and innovative presence on the improv scene as a member and, in many cases, the director of the groups Riot Squad, BATS Improv, Pulp Playhouse, Improv Theater and True Fiction Magazine. He has taught improv both privately and at various institutions including the American Conservatory Theater and Stanford University. Rafe is also a photographer, a writer and an aficionado of American show business history.
STEPHEN KEARIN began improvising in 1986. He was a founding member of both Improv Theatre and True Fiction Magazine and performed with BATS Improv for 14 years. Stephen is currently a member of Impro Theatre in Los Angeles and a founding member of 3ForAll. He has appeared in numerous stage productions, including the stilt-walking Iago in San Francisco Opera's Otello, as Sally-Sue Weber in A Weber Family Christmas and originated the role of Blaine Bustier in An Evening With Dirk & Blaine. Stephen is the co-creator of "Simlish" and was the principal male voice of The Sims and Sims 2.0. He is featured in the DreamWorks Animation films Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar2 and Monsters Vs. Aliens and just completed work on the motion-capture animated film Mars Needs Moms for Robert Zemeckis. Stephen is a visiting instructor at Stanford University and Cirque Du Soleil.
TIM ORR has improvised since 1988, primarily with BATS Improv, Improv Theater and as a guest with True Fiction Magazine. He has appeared in numerous plays in the Bay Area, and received critical acclaim for his role as Dick Goodman in Brien Burroughs’ 1999 improvised film, Suckerfish (available on DVD through Vanguard Cinema). He stars in the Burroughs improvised film, Security. Tim originated the role of Dirk Manly in An Evening with Dirk & Blaine. He teaches improvisation at BATS Improv, A.C.T., and elsewhere, and is currently the director of the BATS Long-Form Program. He also helps out with the championship local youth wheelchair sports team, the Bay Cruisers.
This 3 FOR ALL performance is produced by Eastman Productions & Improv Playhouse of S.F. in association with BATS Improv.
