The Mission . . . All Things
CIC is an umbrella organization, made up of artists from the Chicago area and beyond, dedicated to recruiting, arranging, and providing alternative performance spaces and opportunities for artists to utilize. CIC supports the vision of talented writers, directors, and performers and is committed to assisting in the production of new and previously produced works all in the many styles of comedy. We anticipate that as our projects and the artists that create them diversify so will the body of the audience. Thus, CIC's very existence and the relative strength and ease with which it functions are determined exclusively by the sum total of the promotive efforts of its constituency.
