In addition to producing shows in the Leidseplein theater, Boom Chicago also writes and performs more than 100 special performances a year for various events and conferences.
These shows vary from completely
tailored programs with original material based on a certain theme to a compilation of scenes compiled from our existing repertoire.
No event is the same. That's why our team studies your event to create a show that best represents your ideas. Are you organising an internal gathering for your staff, like a kick-off meeting, celebration or New Year's party? Or is it an external program for business relations like a conference, a product presentation, or a press conference? These and other questions are important to create a program with the maximum impact.
Is your company going through change or starting a new project? Then Boom Chicago's improvisation training is the perfect way to facilitate team building and communication within your company, department or work group. Improvisation is a great way to learn how to embrace change and to stimulate creativity.
Our programs are huge hits with organisers and participants!
"We could not have made a better choice to give our diverse employees a feeling of kinship and affinity to our company. That moment we all spoke the same language."
Compuware Europe
"Thanks again for your wonderful contribution to our meeting in Noordwijk. Everybody loved it..."
Philips
"The improv workshop was absolutely spot-on as far as relativity to the workplace and for our entire team it was a tremendous experience. [We] had never done anything of this nature before and it was an eye-opener to see the talent in our company."
European Society for Opinion and Market Research
"very smart, very quick, very frank and very funny. "

"The audience is very enthusiastic. The tone for the evening is set, the atmosphere is great."
Event & Image
"These Americans can improvise with anything- whether the code word is Ernest Hemmingway, a skating tournament or men's under ware ruined in the laundry machine. Within 5 minutes from Hansje Brinker and the tooth ferry to the three wise men from the East and back? We don't know how they do it, but it doesn't take Boomers any effort."
Algemeen Dagblad
"Every time their overwhelming performance leave the audience behind with cramps from laughter." Congresnieuws
We offer a range of custom-made programs, including:
* a completely integrated show with mostly original material to best compliment your event by communicating its goals, for example when Boom Chicago forms the red thread of a conference by performing in between speeches or presentations, to
* partially tailored programs, with two to four specially written scenes and existing improvisations that support the theme of your event, for instance a 45 minute performance at the end of a long meeting day or press conference to
* compilations created form different improvisations and written scenes from our existing repertoire at a company get together..
* improvisation training for innovative and creative organizations, from the most basic workshops to a full day of training and teambuilding. Click here for more information.
How does it work:
* you pick a date and we will discuss what kind of event you are organising and how Boom Chicago fits in that event.
* we then provide:
-- a specific questionnaire for your company based on the type of show
and its goals;
-- an overview of our technical requirements and a separate technical
questionnaire for the location;
-- a confirmation, a final overview of the costs and an invoice of the
down payment.
Three aspects are essential for a successful show:
1. A well-filled out questionnaire:
o It is important to find the right person in your organisation to fill out the questionnaire. The better our information, the better the end result.
2. The right room with the right set up:
o We require a space with enough seats so the entire audience can sit. The show is not as well received when people stand.
o The stage should be close to the audience. A dance floor between the stage and the audience makes a barrier and does not allow for the audience to be as involved in the performance.
o If there is a bar in the room, it must be closed during the performance.
o Our technician needs to operate sound and lights from the same location.
3. A suitable starting time and the right length of the show:
o If we perform during the evening, it is better to start after the main course, or later in the evening.
o If we are performing more than once, each block should be at least fifteen minutes. The maximum length of our show is one hour.
For the exact price of your event, we will make an overview that consists of show costs, technical needs, travel and hotel expenses. These depend on the following:
o the amount of script writing required
o the amount of preparation necessary
o the amount of technical equipment Boom Chicago must supply
o the duration of Boom Chicago's involvement. How long is our day?
o other wishes you might have, such as a piano player or using our technician or technical equipment for your own presentation.
