Chicago Cultural Center  >  Theater/Dance  > The Improv Play

A truly Chicago tale, The Improv Play jumps headfirst into the compelling and competitive world of the local improv scene in Chicago. Set in the wake of young Walt Regan’s New York departure to join the writing staff of Saturday Night Live, the play follows three characters on the same improv team as they seek success and validation on Chicago’s comedy stages, but instead discover the hard-edged truths of a life trying to make everyone laugh. Incorporating improvisation, stand-up and sketch comedy with scripted material to create a raucous, cutting, and honest exploration of performance, talent, and ambition, The Improv Play shines a light on the thousands of performers filling out the fringe of the comedy scene.
