Whirled News Tonight presents “Newspeak” is an improvised show that is currently running at Chicago’s famed iO Theater on Fridays and Saturday nights at 8:00 PM.

“Newspeak” is the first production for the Whirled News Tonight team and strives to not only provide a satirical turn on current events, but to provide another, human, point of view of those stories.

When the audience arrives they will be brought to a table with several local and national publications where they can cut out any articles they are interested in and tack them onto several bulletin boards onstage. The cast will randomly choose articles on which to base their improvisation.

Starring: Marla Caceres, Alex Eilhauer, Eddie Pina, Steve Waltien, Matt Young, Shane Wilson, Megan O'Neill, John P. Glynn, Padraic Connelly, Arnie Niekamp
