With the help of some of Chicago’s best actors, Improv: The Play is a new, hybrid version of long form improv happening only at the iO Theater.

Each night, professional actors prepare a scene from a play. Their scene partners, however, are never given a script, and must improvise their way through the scene. The result is a totally original, never before seen piece of theater.

It’s drama, it’s comedy, it’s everything that’s magical about theater and improvisation. Come watch this brand-new show at iO and see something you won’t see anywhere else in the city.

Chloë Grace Moretz, Anthony Ramos, Manny Jacinto, Isabel May, Lukas Gageand Billie Lourd are headlining the Joey Power directed and written romantic comedy, Love Language from Caviar.

Caviar is arranging full financing of the project. Cameras will roll in mid-October in Chicago, Illinois. CAA Media Finance is representing the U.S. rights to the film.

Love Language is produced by Ari Lubet for 3 Arts Entertainment, Colin Jost and Jeff Grosvenor for No Notes Productions, and Bert Hamelinck and Allison Hironaka for Caviar. EPs are Michael Sagol of Caviar and Tyson Bidner.

Power co-wrote and co-directed After Everything starring Jeremy Allen White and Maika Monroe, which premiered at SXSW and was released by Good Deed Entertainment in 2018. He co-wrote and produced Banana Split, which played at TIFF Next Wave 2019 and was released by Vertical Entertainment in 2020. He’s recently developed projects for Blumhouse and EOne. —(From Deadline)
