Pablo Francisco Remember that actor in the Police Academy movies who did all the sound effects? That wasn’t Pablo Francisco (it was Michael Winslow, who was recently in a GEICO commercial), but Francisco’s voice talent is that good. Parodying telenovelas, he not only delivers fantastic accents and perfect melodramatic acting but adds a cheesy sound track and the character’s heartbeat. His impressions are among the best, and he switches from one to another with such speed and facility it can sound like several people are onstage. (RH) aThrough 9/21: Thu 7:30 PM, Fri 8 and 10:15 PM, Sat 7 and 9:15 PM, Sun 7 PM, the Improv, Woodfield Mall, Golf Rd. at Rte. 53, Schaumburg, 847-240-2001, $24, 21+
