Sybil
Sybil is a completely improvised solo performance piece developed by Andy Eninger in 1999. The piece lasts from 15 to 45 minutes, and is created on the spot from a single audience suggestion. In a Sybil, the lone actor plays each and every character in an expanding, thematically connected network of improvised scenes and monologs. Plotlines and characters evolve from the initial suggestion resulting in comedically intertwined, spontaneous stories that unfold in unexpected directions. The performance is the ultimate challenge for an improvisor and a theatrical delight for the audience, who ofen find themselves involved in the action. The form itself is always evolving and growing, through Eninger's work and in the hands of graduates of his workshops.

One Man Seen
In 2002, Eninger worked with producers Shaun Himmerick and Fuzzy Gerdes and director Gary Ruderman to create a more challenging theatrical version of Sybil. Combining Ruderman's vast experience with theatrical design and his work with solo performances, the team developed One Man Seen, which enjoyed a critically acclaimed theatrical run in Chicago in September, 2002. One Man Seen is a one-hour, spontaneously created one-act play in which the action and all the characters takes place in a single improvised location based on an audience suggestion.

History
Sybil was developed by Andy Eninger in 1999 under the coaching tutelage of improv veteran Tim Schueneman. Previously, Andy had briefly performed with Kathy Bianchi as an improv duo known as Sybil. When Kathy moved away to London, Andy stole the name and announced that he would carry on without her. Chicago's Playground Theater hosted the first performances of Sybil as part of their guest performance series. In 2000, as part of the Playground's Directors Series productions, Eninger developed a workshop to train and develop master improvisors using Sybil as a teaching tool. Since then, his Sybilization workshop has run several times in Chicago, and is a popular installment at improv training institutions and festivals around the country.
