  1. Del Close: Dueling scripts detail improv pioneer

    Charna Halpern's script about her late iO (formerly ImprovOlympic) co-founder Del Close opens with the vastly influential, hard-living, difficult, brilliant improvisation pioneer glimpsing a TV on which his former student Betty Thomas is thanking him while accepting her acting Emmy Award for "Hill Street Blues."

  3. An indie brings Nick Offerman back to the Chicago area

    Whenever I find myself in a bleak mood, a quick glance at the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness usually does the trick. A near-perfect melding of minds between the &quot;Parks and Recreation" writing staff and actor Nick Offerman, this visual guide on how to live life ("Crying: Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon") is one of the NBC show's lasting legacies.

  4. Jon Lovitz holds court

    Jon Lovitz's standup career only began in earnest nine years ago, long after his popular stint on &quot;Saturday Night Live," when he says the movie roles "started drying up" and his talent managers slapped down a cold, crushing reality check.

  7. The best of Chicago fringe theater in 2012

    Life on the fringe can be precarious, and this year three small Chicago theater companies with a combined 31 seasons among them decided to call it quits: BackStage Theatre and Caffeine Theatre (both on our best-of compilations in the past) and New Leaf Theatre, which bows out with its final production making our list this year. But the great thing about the rich Chicago theatrical loam is that it always encourages new companies and collaborations to take root. Every week, we cover the storefronts, lofts, basements, bars and all the other venues where the fringe is in full bloom. Below are some of the best shows we saw in 2012. Next week, we'll present some of our best bets for early 2013.

    Adam Sandler must have watched a rough cut of &quot;Jack and Jill" at some point. I wonder if he thought twice about releasing it, knowing that it could open a vortex to another dimension and unleash a supernatural force that would destroy all of mankind. The phrase "chocolate squirties" has to appear in the book of Revelation.
