“i.e. improv” begins fall performance schedule this evening at 6

“i.e. improv,” the improvisational performance group at LLCC, will perform five shows this fall semester, beginning this evening, Oct. 7, at 6 p.m. in the lower level of Sangamon Hall South on the LLCC Springfield campus.

Other Monday evening performances are Oct. 21, Nov. 4 and 18, and Dec. 2, all at 6 p.m. in Sangamon Hall South. The public is invited, with viewer discretion advised. Tickets are available at the door for $2.

“i.e. (the Latin abbreviation for ‘that is’) improv” is comprised of LLCC students who perform unscripted, uncensored comedy, similar to the style of famous improv groups in Los Angeles and Chicago.

As a completely off-the-cuff show, this group takes audience suggestions and turns them into long-form improv.  The students involved have all studied improvisation at LLCC.

More information is available by emailing mark.hardiman@llcc.edu or by calling 786.4942.
