Angel Bones is an improv super group that combines the very best of Chicago improv – veteran performers who have perfected the art of present, patient, and honest improv mixed with absurd whimsy. Angel Bones is made up of performers from iO, The Second City, and UCB.
CAST: Lindsey Smith, Mike Brunlieb, Emma Pope, Jenelle Cheyne
Born in the cereal aisle at Kroger, Street Jelly emerges as one of Coalition Theater’s newest teams with the highest percentage of advertising majors. Enjoy exploring worlds and stories with grounded and emotional characters, as well as the occasional trip to large locations that could fit several small locations inside of it.
CAST: Kenneth Stephens, Jonas Benz, Shawn Hambright, Nick Tenaglia, J. McClain, Emilee Bruski, Mikaela Uricheck, Katie Samuelsen
Based at Washington Improv Theater in DC, Nox!'s play is fueled by the mantra “get weird,” resulting in comedy that is often dark, physical, and high energy, yet patient. They aim to be the most dynamic and versatile long-form improv troupe in DC.
