“i.e. improv,” the improvisational performance group at LLCC, has begun its performance schedule for the spring semester. Upcoming performances are Thursday evenings, Feb. 27, March 20, April 3 and May 1 and 8, all beginning at 6 p.m. in Sangamon Hall South room 009. The public is invited, with viewer discretion advised. Tickets are available at the door for $2.
As a completely off-the-cuff show, this group takes audience suggestions and turns them into long-form improv. This spring the students are performing with a surrealist bent as scenes warp time and space in an imaginative and dream-like romp.
More information is available by emailing Mark Hardiman, professor of theatre, at mark.hardiman@llcc.edu or by calling 786.4942.
