Improv Wed Aug 26 2009
Improvised Shakespeare Toils, Troubles, Doubles
The Improvised Shakespeare Company -- easily the best improv bet in town -- now goes up twice every Friday night.
Starting Aug. 28, improvising thespians hit the stage Fridays for their regular 8pm show and then dust off, regroup and churn out a brand new show, based on a completely different suggestion, at 10:30pm.
Improvised Shakespeare shows start with a suggestion, which becomes the show's title and inspiration, all done in the language and themes of The Bard. That means lots of mismatched love and dastardly deeds, pickled with pop culture nods and just plain silly fun.
Each show (8pm and 10:30pm) is $14 in the Del Close Theater at iO, 3541 N. Clark St. For tickets, call 773-880-0199 or visit the website.
