Northshore Local has been fortunate enough to be accepted into the 11th Annual Del Close Marathon.
What's the Del Close Marathon you ask? Well...
.
"Del Close was the driving force behind improvisational comedy in Chicago for over 30 years influencing Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Mike Myers, John Belushi, Chris Farley and the Upright Citizens Brigade to name a few. After Del's passing in 1999, the UCB started the Del Close Marathon to celebrate their mentor and keep alive his name and teachings for future generations.
.
"Over 150 Shows Over 1 Weekend! From Friday afternoon August 14 to after midnight on Sunday August 16, there will be improv non-stop at the UCB Theatre. Groups from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington DC, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Phoenix, Austin, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Ontario, St. Louis, Toronto, and more, will perform on one of three stages."
