Tellin' Tales Theatre Branches Out into Improv August 6, 13 & 20 at iO

Tellin' Tales Theatre - now in its 28th year - takes its mission "to shatter barriers between the disabled and non-disabled worlds through the transformative power of personal story" to the world of improv.

Their new improv team will perform What's Yours Like? on Sunday nights August 6, 13 and 20 at 7:30pm at iO Theater, 1501 N. Kingsbury in Chicago. Tickets are $15.00.

What's Yours Like? is inspired by a true personal story at the start of each show, then the improvisers leap into action and develop humorous and unpredictable narratives in real time. The end result matches the spontaneity and unpredictability of life, making each show a unique experience. "Mine is shriveled." "Mine vibrates." "Mine hangs to the left."

"What's yours like?
