Just
when you thought Drew Carey and his ilk had killed off the art
of bullshitting their way through a decent joke, local improv
troupe THEY bring the practice back to life. For the first time
in Fort Lauderdale, THEY will spend 90 minutes cracking unrehearsed
jokes based on audience suggestions alone; so yell loudly, and
yell often. This group of actors gets together to perform its
spur-of-the-moment shenanigans this Saturday night at the Fort
Lauderdale Children's Theatre (640 N. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale)
for more than just the giggles. Despite the venue, this isn't
some cutesy kids program. Tonight's show is a benefit for the
FLCT; proceeds will be used to fund drama programs for kids. The
show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $7. Call 954-763-6882, or visit

About THEY improv
THEY improv is an informal group of actors
getting together and performing improv, often for charities and
always for the betterment of everyone. For now there is no corporate
structure and no financial relationship, with their first several
performances to be done for charities and the money never even
being seen by the troupe. Marketing funds and efforts will either
be donated by the members or provided by the charities themselves.
