Based on one audience suggestion (a title of a show that has never been written), The Improvised Shakespeare Company creates a fully improvised Shakespearean masterpiece right before your eyes. Prepare for an evening of spontaneous comedy using the language and themes of William Shakespeare. Nothing has been planned out, rehearsed, or written. All of the dialogue is said for the first time, the characters are created as you watch, and if ever you're wondering where the story is going...so are they! "TimeOut Chicago" calls it “Staggeringly Brilliant” and “Downright Hilarious!” You've never seen the Bard like this before!

With Joey Bland, Ross Bryant, Brendan Dowling, Greg Hess, and Blaine Swen.

Join members of famed musical improv group Baby Wants Candy as they create an epic musical on the spot based on a historical celebrity of your choosing- from Genghis Khan to Kim Kardashian. It's the show Lin-Manuel Miranda calls "cease and desist!"

"Shamilton! The Improvised Hip-Hop Parody Musical" has enjoyed fully sold out runs at UCB in Los Angeles, UCB's Del Close Marathon in New York, and packed houses in Chicago at the Apollo Theater. They recently completed a wildly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Start thinking of who you want to see a hip-hop improvised musical created for now!

With Carlos Aguirre, Ross Bryant, Jessica McKenna, Zeke Nicholson, Raquel Palmas, Adrien Pellerin, and Zach Reino.
