Opening Wednesday, Dec. 2, at Gorilla Tango Theatre in Chicago.

SLIPPERY HANDLES is an improvised show about handling--and shirking--the responsibilities of womanhood. Each week, the talented, all-female cast of comic actors delivers a hilarious and at times heartbreaking series of improvised scenes, interspersed with real-life stories, journal entries, blog posts and random notes selected by the audience. SLIPPERY HANDLES finds the funny in everyday struggles and promises to make you laugh, cry and maybe even exhale for a minute.

Members have performed with various improv, sketch comedy and theatrical casts, including performances with The Second City (Chicago and Los Angeles), iO Chicago, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Northlight Theatre and The Playground Theater, among others.
