It might be Improv Schmimprov on stage but it's sure not about education schmeducation.
The local comedy troupe specializes in improvisational fun times, theatre sports and whatever it takes to make you laugh. They are performing because educational struggles are no laughing matter unless they are involved.
All the money raised by this Improv Schmimprov show goes to the Learning Differences Centre (LDC), a not-for-profit education centre that has been operating in Prince George for approximately 20 years.
"As an organization they have helped many children in our community who struggle with education," said Erin Bauman, one of the event coordinators. "They of course need support to continue their great work, so I am helping them to organize a fundraiser with Improv Shmimprov."
The comedians and actors will provide the entertainment, there will also be an array of beverages and snacks to refresh the audience and a silent auction to supplement the fundraising efforts.
According to the Learning Disabilities Association of BC, the Prince George LDC "provides training and tutoring, using individualized, multisensory approaches in developing reading, writing, spelling and math skills, while promoting awareness and distributing information, to support children and adults affected by learning difficulties."
The show happens April 27 at Artspace (above Books & Company). Tickets are $20 available now at Books & Company or the LDC front desk, or at the door on the night of the hilarity.
