Theatre & Performing Arts
2 Square
In 2 Square, John Lutz and Peter Grosz take a single suggestion then spin that into a 45 minute longform show featuring the kaleidoscope of scenes, absurdist transitional elements and callbacks – all while never once using a “sweep edit” to get from scene to scene. They play dozens of characters, create environments and locations using every part of the theater and weave it all together in a satisfying conclusion.
CAST
John Lutz has been acting, improvising and writing for over 30 years. You may know him best as the character of Lutz from 30 Rock. Or perhaps you know him from such shows as Inside Amy Schumer, Chicago Med, The Good Wife, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And finally, you may not know him from Apple TV’s Loot, because his episode hasn’t aired yet. He wrote for Saturday Night Live from 2004-2010 and is currently in his tenth year writing for Late Night with Seth Meyers. For 3 years, he toured the world from Bangkok to Rockford, IL with The Second City National Touring Company. He created, co-wrote and produced the series Mapleworth Murders which can currently be seen on Roku and he will be featured in the upcoming season of Girls5Eva on Netflix.

Peter Grosz has been teaching improvisation and writing at various theaters across America for the last 20 years. He was a founding member of the experimental improv groups JTS Brown, 4 Square and 2 Square. He has written for The Colbert Report, Late Night With Seth Meyers and At Home With Amy Sedaris, and had the good fortune to win two Emmys, three WGA awards and a Peabody. He just wrapped up a run of the play Goodnight, Oscar starring Sean Hayes on Broadway. On screens you’ve seen him in The Menu, Veep, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The President Show, and more. You can hear him on Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me on NPR and he was in a few commercials for Sonic drive-in, but only for 18 years so you might have missed them. Follow him on all socials at @petergrosz.
