John Mcgarry Born and raised on the streets of Philadelphia, Johns knack for performing and being on stage developed at an early age. His father has been in a band all of Johns life and he enjoyed dancing the night away with the “Middle Aged” (old) ladies! Formally, his first performance was his senior year in High School as the lead in Crazy For You. He caught the bug. He went on to Bucks County Community College to begin pursuing an acting career. That’s where he took his first improvisational theater class taught by the illustrious Bill McLaughlin. After returning for several semesters, John and former Piece member Mike Tingle took classes in New York City with the Chicago City Limits improv group then began putting on their own productions under the name Sam Malone’s Hairpiece. SMHP, or The Piece as it was called for short, had a revolving cast of improvisers all of which were former/current students of McLaughlin. Monthly shows in Quakertown, Pa. forced a steady ensemble cast, which now comprises The Piece.

Andrew Stanton was born in the world. He is still there. He lives in a place and he has met some other people and some animals in life. He can talk and eat and pick things up all on his own. He can yell loud and he can remember a lot of words in order. He went to school some. He started to learn improvising in 2007. Bill McLaughlin was the teacher. He still improvises. He improvises with The Piece and also with Angry People Building Things. Both are good and he likes them both a lot and he likes the other people in them. He feels powerful and he does not understand why. He is building a machine. This is only the start of his journey
