A New Cast!
Thanks to everyone who came out to audition for the 2011/12 cast. We were overwhelmed by how many talented and excited improvisors we saw. Alas, there are only so many places on our three teams so some tough decisions had to be made. However, there are lots of opportunities for anyone who is interested in improv to get involved with the club. Stay tuned for information on upcoming shows and workshops!

Website Down...Sorry
We apologize for the recent hiccups with our website. Everything's sorted out now so we hope it will be smooth sailing from here on out. We blame the problems on the following five things:
1. The full moon
2. Teenage hackers with a disdain for authority only topped by their distain for websites about improv
3. Warlocks
4. Fluctuations in Brazil's export economy
5. Not enough exercize
