The Unwitting Magician is a one-night-only theatrical event in which an actor performs a script they have truly never seen, and somehow, impossibly, pulls off real magic along the way. Created by director and playwright Jeremy Dobrish, it is a singular evening of wonder, surprise, and genuinely big questions about free will that nobody in the room, including the performer, will see coming.

The Improvised Shakespeare Company takes one audience suggestion and builds a complete, fully improvised Shakespearean play from scratch. No script, no rehearsal, no idea where it’s going until it gets there. A Chicago institution since 2005 and celebrated at venues from the Kennedy Center to the Soho Theatre in London, their show is as funny, surprising, and as thrilling as live performance gets.
