Icy Hot Comedy!
Jan 25, 2025 at 8:00 pmHow many psychotherapists does it take to make a crowd laugh? Come find out when the Therapy Players take the stage! Professional psychotherapists by day, they've been performing together as a comedy improv troupe since 2013 and were the winners of the 2015 Chicago Collider Improv competition. Their revue “Phobia Shmobia” won a standing ovation at the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, and they brought down the house at the International Society for the Study of Self Injury, where they performed at the happy hour. The troupe has also played, usually to sellout crowds, at theaters and clubs in Chicago and a variety of suburbs, including Evanston, Libertyville, Oak Park, Palatine and Schaumburg.
The Therapy Players return to Skokie with 90 minutes of new material with one intermission, and short scenes improvised on the spot from audience suggestions.

Wed. Matinee on Feb 19 at 1:30 pmBook and Lyrics by Mark Saltzman
A new musical by Mark Saltzman. Shakespeare meets the modern-world in this delightful musical rom-com with songs based on traditional Italian melodies. After a 600 year nap, Romeo believes that Bernadette, the tough-as-nails daughter of a New York mob boss, is the reincarnation of his beloved Juliet. He pursues her to an America filled with whimsical characters, singing mobsters, and a family feud that puts the Montagues and Capulets to shame.
Directed by Bernard Rice. Music Direction by Jeremy Ramey. Choreography by Abby Glaws
