Janice is playing Ariel and Sybil in the world premiere of PROSPERA : A Sci-Fi Retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest!
Twenty years ago, Admiral Prospera was betrayed and exiled to a dying planet. Now her enemies have crash-landed at her doorstep. Armed with forbidden wormhole technology and a storm born from vengeance, she'll reclaim everything—or lose what matters most.
Running Time: 2 hours 30 minutes with intermission
Janice is an ensemble memeber of Improvised Romantasy!
Step into a world where fairytales meet forbidden fruit and destiny is written in real-time. Whether it’s fated mates bound by ancient prophecy, a brooding "shadow daddy" with a tragic past, or an enemies-to-lovers triangle so spicy it could ignite a dragon’s fire—our cast dives headfirst into the fantasy fever dream of your wildest imagination.
Performing every Friday in February at 9:30 PM, immediately following Improvised Shakespeare. Come for the charm, stay for the supernatural heat.
Janice is an long-time ensemble member of Improvised Jane Austen, performing Saturdays @ 7:30pm at the iO Theater: 1501 N Kingsbury St, Chicago, IL 60642
Improvised Jane Austen (2019 Best Improv/Sketch Troup, The Chicago Reader & PerformINK’s critics choice) tells a tale, on the spot, in the style of the most beloved 19th century authoress. The cast is entirely female, non-binary, & non-conforming identified folk. Audiences can expect to laugh heartily, be wooed to tears, and be made to think on how much, and how little, has changed in two hundred plus years.

Janice is an ensemble member of Starship Edsel: An Improvised Star Trek Satire with Otherworld Theatre. This show will return to Second City in April 2026!
Starship Edsel is a Star Trek inspired farce set aboard the Federation Starship Edsel towards the end of the 24th century. The Edsel is a cruiser, Edsel class (the only one), largely regarded as a failure in ship design. Somehow, serious flaws in architecture and engineering were not caught until the prototype ship was completed. From its launch, it has been plagued with mechanical and operational problems that have played havoc with its fitness and combat-readiness, to the point where it became the butt of jokes throughout Starfleet.
