Who is Theatre Momentum? Hailed as "a worthy alternative to what you'll find at improv mainstays such as i.O. or Annoyance," Theatre Momentum strives for work that is theatre that happens to be improvised. For a little about our history, click the About TM tab. Welcome!

Theatre Momentum presents our latest show, RIVER LETHE.

River Lethe explores the persistence of memory... or rather, the lack thereof. Memory is a malleable thing, and every time we tell a story or recall a moment, we make and break neural and chemical connections, till what we recall resembles reality not at all.

Directed by Regan Davis, RIVER LETHE is:

Peter Athans, Erika Kokkinos, Erin Monahan, Theresa Ohanian, Jon Sales, Ed Sanchez-Gomez, Harz Sondericker, Paul Whitehouse, Adam Ziemkiewicz

Tickets are FREE to the public, but space is very limited.

To RSVP, send an email to tickets@theatremomentum.com with the date you'd like to reserve. Enjoy the show!

Perpetual Motion Workshops

TM has gathered some of Chicago's best improv/theatre directors to teach a variety of workshops at the Theatre Momentum Studio on weekends. These are independent workshops in the Theatre Momentum style. The Kinetic Jam is your chance to win a free pass to the workshop of your choice. Free passes are limited, though, but the workshops are perpetual.

FREE stuff!

What's with all the free stuff?

Theatre Momentum knows how expensive things can be, especially in this economy, and especially for entertainment or theatre classes. . We're trying to combat that by making as much of our programs free as we can. We're removing the friction. (Sorry, we needed at least one physics pun!).

What's free?

All our Kinetic Jams are free. All our shows are free. We give away free passes to our Perpetual Motion Workshops. Are you an improv/theatre director? We're giving away free space for your workshops. It's true. We want to book a variety of workshops for our Perpetual  Motion Workshop series, and you could be one of our directors.
