3 JULY: LAUGH OUT PROUD XL

Guided by the Invisible Hand, Elf Lyons dissects the financial system in the only way she knows how: through clowning, chaos, and song. With too many tax-deductible props and the voice of her dad to guide her, Elf wants to teach you that economics is actually, really beautiful.

Brendan Hunt (Ted Lasso), Derek Scott Mitchell, and our top cast bring the laughs in Shot of Improv XL. Running nonstop since 1996 (back when it was Heineken Late Night), Shot of Improv is an old-school favorite packed with audience suggestions. And if your idea is great? You just might score a free shot!

InterActing is Boom Chicago’s program for teenagers with autism. This show features our senior group, made up of individuals who may not consider themselves natural performers or quick on their feet.
