THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD to Play Under The Gun Theater

T?he Greatest Story Never Told?i?s performing interactive improvised theater for families at U?nder The Gun Theater?­ 956 W Newport Ave. every Saturday morning at 11:00am from October 24th ­ December 19th, 2015. Tickets range from $15.00 ­ $25.00.

The opening press performance is October 24th at 11:00am (doors open at 10:30am).

The Greatest Story Never Told?begins with an underprepared narrator who opens a storybook only to discover it has no text. The solution is the audience must help create and perform an original story made up on the spot along with "The Greatest Interns" (professional improvisers). Suggestions for location, character and plot are taken throughout the entire show as volunteer performers of all ages are invited on stage to perform a 45­60 minute improvised story. A professional writer and artist create text and illustrations from the show and the story is ultimately transformed into a purchasable storybook.

The Greatest Story Never Told?is directed by Andrew Ritter and Produced by ?YaYa Productions.?Andrew has been teaching, directing and performing for and with children in the Chicagoland area for the past 25 years. The show premiered in August 2013 as part of the Figment Chicago Festival and enjoyed rave reviews during its 2 previous runs at Theater Wit in 2014 and The iO Theater in 2015.
