One month from today, the Victoria International Improv Festival will present three nights of the best of improvised theatre. The Impromaniacs are pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale at the McPherson Box Office and A&B Sound, and the release of the schedule of events.

"We are putting on three nights of terrific, affordable entertainment" said festival producer Jonathan Argue, "There will be three shows a night, featuring the best of local, national and international talent."

Tickets for each show are $10, or you can buy a day pass for $25.

"Each show will offer up something unique," noted Co-Producer Neil Gurton. "I’m especially looking forward to the Jam Sessions, with members from various troupes working together. As well, they will be featuring Yuri Kinugawa, from Japan's premiere improv troupe, the Yellow Man Group."

Due to other commitments and a shortage of performing members, the Impromaniacs are canceling their March 14th performance at the Central Bar & Grill. We'll be back March 21st!

The Impromaniacs hit Vancouver to participate in Vancouver TheatreSport League's 17th annual St. Valentines Day Massacre. Jonathan Argue and Don Tom where able to make it over for this event. Joining Don (or "Bill" as his team captain, Jonathan, introduced him on the first night - by mistake!!) and Jonathan are "Victorians" Michael Teigen and Scott Owen - both a long time VTSL players - nice guys to boot!

"It's been a wild ride so far," says Argue, "but we're learning lots and having fun!".

Stay tuned for the pictures...

We've got a new venue! Yes indeed! Starting Sunday, February 15, 2004 we'll be performing at the Central Bar & Grill on View Street (new View & Douglas). Showtime is 8pm - suggested donation is $5.

Hope to see you then!
