Small Theater

Welcome to "Juicy," the unapologetically sassy three-act experience where the only thing hotter than the gossip, is the cast. Consider this your warning: what goes down in this room, STAYS in this room. So buckle up. Our fierce host starts by leading a panel, where the cast dishes up their weekly dramas. The audience gets to join in via QR codes by sending in their wildest scandals and seek real-time advice. Next up, we turn to the “hot seat” where we spotlight a badass standup comedian, serving up a set that’s perfectly tailored for our raw, unfiltered vibe. And just when you think it can’t get any wilder, we dive into an improv explosion, using stories as our launchpad to the craziest, most feral tangents imaginable. Get ready to laugh, gasp, and spill your guts — this is "Juicy.”

Alyssa Shuster

Alyssa Shuster

Alyssa Shuster (Shu, if you're nasty) is 5'1, a taurus, and looking for love. She graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a degree in comedy writing and performance and her parents are so proud - she can tell. You can find her being silly in the sketch group Bear With Us, or the hot-girl group A Coch and Shu. Alyssa never knows whether to talk in first or third person in these things, so not only would she like to thank you for coming to the show, so would I!

Grace Goze

Grace Goze

So much has been said about Grace Goze (she/her), but who is Grace Goze really? Is she a writer and improviser? Sure. Does she hold an MFA in screenwriting with a concentration in comedy from DePaul University? I mean, I guess. Is she an alumna of The Second City's 2024 Victor Wong Fellowship and ensemble member with High Stakes Productions performing in Hitch*Cocktails (The Annoyance Theater) and Clued In: The Improvised Murder Mystery (The Second City)? Who's to say? The answer is yes, but who's to say? I'd say all we know for certain is that she could maybe be an American Girl Doll come to life, and her instagram is @mazingg.
