“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.
