I've had the pleasure of once again directing the Noah Ginex Puppet Company for this year's Chicago Improv Festival. It's been a quick rehearsal process, but we've crammed a lot of fun, character, comedy and playfulness into a short period of time. It's been a blast, and the shows are going to be a ton of fun!
We will be featured on the WGN morning show this Thursday, April 4th!
Shows are Friday, April 5th and Saturday, April 6th at 10:30pm at Chemically Imbalanced Comedy on Irving Park.
