We all have unfinished business. Sometimes it’s a person you should have said, “I love you” too or cancer that took someone’s life, and maybe it’s that second grade teacher who said, “you can’t sing!”
Through unique monologues we talk to those people, places or things and settle the score.
Our top performers have a cathartic experience and we invite the audience to do the same!
Unfinished Business is part of a new series of original programming developed by our theater, for our theater.
We all let go!
Produced by The Pit, and Sean Christian Taylor
Executive Produced by Ali Farahnakian
Ali Reza Farahnakian was born in Esfahan, Iran in the fall of ‘68. He came to America in the summer of ‘69. He is an immigrant. He is not eligible to seek the office of the presidency in America and is therefore a second class citizen in this country. Maybe that’s why he got into “comedy”. His teachers include Michael McCarthy, Charna Halpern, Del Close, Maryanne Thebus and Wynn Handman. He is an alumnus of ImprovOlympic, The Second City Chicago and SNL. He was a founding member of UCB and The PIT. He has acted at The Steppenwolf, BAM, and Playwrights Horizon. He has been in numerous TV shows, commercials, films and voiceovers. He has been doing this work for over three decades because he loves it and because it doesn’t seem like work. We started The PIT in 2002 in New York City.
