CIC Theater

Long-form improvisation training and comedy shows are the core offerings at this nonprofit theater and training center. CIC Theater presents recurring improv performances, including Tuesday Good Show, The Grad Class, The Open Stage, The Scene, and Internet Online. Some programming combines improv with stand-up, while the open stage invites anyone to play. The theater also provides classes through a scheduled training program and offers a diversity scholarship. CIC Theater is dedicated to developing artists and creating a more diverse community of performers. It operates from a new space at The Western Bar & Kitchen on North Western Avenue in Chicago. Free shows are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with schedules published through the theater's channels.
