FRIDAY 2/3/23 10:00:PM

GUEST: BLAINE SWEN / FOUNDER
David talks with The Improvised Shakespeare Company Founder Blaine Swen about the Company’s 2006 start in Chicago, and its journey to a national touring group. What lead them to discover this unique approach to Shakespeare?
Based on one audience suggestion (a title of a show that has never been written), The Improvised Shakespeare Company creates a fully improvised Shakespearean masterpiece right before your eyes. Nothing has been planned out, rehearsed, or written. All of the dialogue is said for the first time, the characters are created as you watch, and if ever you're wondering where the story is going...so are they! You've never seen the Bard like this before!
