Hi Ever,

You might be asking yourself - Am I Ready For Open Court?

The answer is "yes".

There's more information here. (http://www.chicagoimprov.org/showthread.php?t=1216)

See you there,

I'd be a very poor shameless plugger, indeed, if I didn't mention...

Work(shop)-in-Progress (http://www.theatremomentum.com/workshopinprogress.htm)
Improv Theatre Lab. Free ya first time, just $5 after that. Boom. I've had several people say they get more out of WiP than they have out of most classes they've taken.

Bizarre. Awesome.

uh long - form? I beg to differ... fun peeps though.

every week the forms change. and the term "longform" encompasses a lot of territory.

Whenever I've been there, Open Court has been long form. Some form where the group gets a suggestion and plays straight for 15-25 minutes depending on the size of the crowd and number of teams. Mainly, scenes.

Not games each with an introduction and each with a suggestion from the audience that last 2-3 minutes like you'd find at iO or other short form jams.

This Sunday, 10/28
6pm
Donny's Skybox Theatre (1608 N. Wells, top floor)
FREE

The student improv jam is run like a shortform show, but the players all come out of the audience. Each student tends to get up onstage 1-3 times, depending on the crowd.

And if not this time, the first 3 Sundays of each term.
