The Incubator is an opportunity for performers of all genres to test show ideas and material. Otherworld Theatre's Incubator offers a unique opportunity for performers and teams to experiment with new forms and techniques, and/or play with science fiction and fantasy related themes. Teams can opt in to receive notes from Otherworld's Improv and Sketch Curators, and other Chicago comedy veterans sitting in on the monthly panel. The Incubator is available to all performers regardless of genre or team size. Previous incubators have hosted improv, sketch, musical improv, standup, solo shows, and variety acts. Performers are encouraged but not required to use their Incubator set as an opportunity to develop sci-fi and fantasy shows for Otherworld.
