Improsia, BIG FIRE!, G.U.S.

Chicago Improv Festival's Experimental Category featuring:

Improsia: Improsia is the experimental improv concept factory of Joel Dale. Existing since 1998 when initially formed with his best friend Josh, Improsia has taken many forms, from 8 people all the way down to one. It's always been about a single thing, doing whatever sounded cool. The tradition continues with Joel Dale joining forces with Andrew McMasters to explore a new idea they both find interesting.
Fōn is about viewing a telephone conversation as an important and often central part of our lives. It's central to our needs when announcing times of joy or having to give out bad news from across the country. And it's there when you have that most unexpected connection with the customer service agent. We'll do scene after scene of iconic phone calls we've all had to make. The seemingly mundane will become anything but because the person on the other end is you. A phone conversation with the audience, each and every time. Will you answer our call?

BIG FIRE!: BIG FIRE! is absurdist theatre improvised in an organic, non-traditional way. Josh Levine and Devin Sanclemente bring the audience an emotionally gratifying performance blending styles of spoken word, comedy, drama and movement.

G.U.S.: Created, developed, and performed by Nick Carrillo, Langston Belton, and Devin James Heater, G.U.S. is a post-apocalyptic improvised comedy. It explores the relationship between three men who, after an apocalyptic event, have been trapped underground together for weeks, months, or, most likely, years.
