MORE INFO:
Gorilla Tango Theater is holding auditions for it’s GTT Improv Zoo (formerly known as The Ensemble Improv Program or EIP) and is looking for COMMITTED improvisors that want to not only improv their skills, but also want consistent stage time.

This season we will be casting a minimum of 50 improvisors from this audition.

Auditions are being held Dec. 17th at the Gorilla Tango Theater.

The GTT Improv Zoo is a unique improv experience that integrates new and old approaches to the study of improvisation in order to help foster the advancement of improvisation as an art-form plus allows each member to gain valuable experience with real stage time. No other seasonal program in Chicago gives you this much time in front of real audiences.

If cast, performers pay $240 for the entire term (which covers weekly coaching, rehearsal space, marketing, et al). Coaches of the GTT Improv Zoo have performed with Second City Touring Company, Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, The Annoyance, i.O. Chicago, ComedySportz and more.
