Yes And (ish)

 

Yes And (ish)


Chicago is home to the most brilliant improvisational theatres in the world. There’s one golden rule all performers follow: Never say no. Always say Yes And

Lilly was the embodiment of comedic brilliance and was a rising stage actress with nothing in her way. When the anxieties of personal tragedies cripple the actress’s grip with everyday life, she slips into a reclusive pattern that ultimately leaves her suffering from agoraphobia. Bordering on insanity, she now performs every night in her apartment living room in front of an audience she painted on the wall. Her only hope to return to the life she once had is the reluctant friendship she begins with Lee, a washed-up, sex-addicted writer who moves in next door.

Desperate for a creative challenge, Lee decides to film a documentary on Lilly’s journey back to live theatre. While Lee takes advantage of Lilly's documentary to showcase his writing, his self-serving habits evolve to push Lilly to rediscover her strengths and face her fears both on and off the stage. It is a friendship not meant to last, but one that neither one will ever forget in this heartfelt story that journeys to the center of a performer’s soul.
