A fully improvised Shakespearean masterpiece comes to life right before your eyes.
The Improvised Shakespeare Company® is one of the most critically-acclaimed improv troupes in the world. It was founded in Chicago in 2005 where its hit show, Improvised Shakespeare Chicago℠ still runs today. The ISC performs regularly at Largo in Los Angeles and has been featured at the Kennedy Center, 92nd St Y, Bonnaroo, San Francisco Sketchfest, Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, and the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal and Chicago. ISC guest performers have included Jason Alexander, Bradley Whitford, Helen Hunt, and Sir Patrick Stewart who also presented the troupe at the Soho Theatre in London. The ISC has been named Chicago's best improv group by both the Chicago Reader and the Chicago Examiner and has received numerous awards in LA, New York, Chicago and more.
Each performance is a one-night-only creation that is epic, hilarious, and fleeting, proving that even in the modern age, the spirit of Shakespeare thrives in the thrill of spontaneity.
