The Therapy Players Create Improv Show Before Your Eyes

Hilarious comedy troupe returns to Skokie Theatre on Saturday, July 22

How 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, Evanston, and Oak Park.

Their January 28 debut at the Skokie Theatre, “Laughs Even Your Insurance Company Can’t Deny!” was a big hit, so they return with 90 minutes of new material and short scenes improvised on the spot from audience suggestions.

Tickets: $17 At Skokie Theatre, 7924 Lincoln Ave in Downtown Skokie. Call 847-677-7761 or visit SkokieTheatre.org
