ABOUT THE SHOW:

THESPIAN is a totally mental evening of entertainment created and performed by Chicago Actor and Mentalist Fred Zimmerman.

THESPIAN is not a traditional magic or mentalism show—it lives at the intersection of performance art and psychological illusion.

It’s also TONS OF FUN!

In this show, Fred leverages the tools of an actor … observation, character analysis, emotional empathy, and the knowledge of human nature … to create the illusion of mind reading in real time … but with a twist.

The result is something audiences haven’t seen before … a show grounded in story, character, and human connection that includes moments that feel intimate, unscripted, and astonishing.

Come for the laughter & astonishment … leave with an evolved sense of the world.
