Founded in 2014 by veteran performer and former iO Chicago training center director Bill Arnett, the Chicago Improv Studio exists to answer the question "What will improv look like tomorrow?" Using unique exercises and a powerful understanding of the work, classes and shows at The Studio push the work forward every day.
Chicago-style long from improvisation strikes a balance between sharp wit and strong acting. While creative and funny premises are a large part of the work, talented players know it is the performance of those funny premise that audience comes to see. To strengthen performance skills, which are best learned on stage, each level includes a run of shows.
