SIRENS show is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

SIRENS NEW SHOW, "CHICKEN SCRATCH" IS "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" BY THE READER!!

ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT! B.Y.O.B! DON'T MISS OUR BEST SHOW YET!

For more info on Sirens go to www.sirensimprov.com

THE READER REVIEW:
CHICKEN SCRATCH The all-female comedy group Sirens presents a program
of character-based improvisation. "Most improv troupes use audience
suggestions, but the Sirens have invented their own form. Each of the nine women has a binder filled with monologues she's written and that no other ensemble member has seen. She picks one, reads it in character, and her cohorts offer several sketches riffing on the underlying themes. . . the talented ensemble twists the ideas in the monologues into fresh, exciting comedy about relationships, family, sex, and beauty. The sketches are so perfect in their specificity . . . (the teenage boy has a Garfield poster in his locker) and boast such well-realized characters that they sometimes resemble scenes from a well-written play. There are some outrageous moments . . . and many ribald ones, but they arise naturally from the characters. It turns out the Sirens are as enticing as their name suggests," says Reader critic Jennifer Vanasco. Cornservatory, 4210 N. Lincoln,312-680-0826. Through Novembe

CHICKEN SCRATCH EXTEDENDED UNTIL DEC. 15th!

SIRENS' "CHICKEN SCRATCH" EXTENDED
by popular demand…
MUST CLOSE December 15th

"Highly Recommended-Short List" - Chicago Reader


Chicago Reader says, "the talented ensemble twists the ideas in the monologues into fresh, exciting comedy about relationships, family, sex and beauty. The sketches are so perfect in their specificity...they sometimes resemble scenes from a well-written play. It turns out the Sirens are as enticing as their name suggests."

In this new long form improv show, SIRENS surprises their audience and each other with newly written character monologues each week, and then weave their worlds together with improvised scenes.

If you haven't seen the show yet, we'd love to see you there. If you've already seen it, help us spread the word by forwarding this to other friends you know. Remember we'd love to have to back again, and you'll get to see an ENTIRELY new show every time! We thank everyone for their support in our most successful run to date.
