Improv dates back to the
Renaissance, and the Harold back to the Sixties. Del Close, a
member of the Committee, created the Harold in an effort to heighten
the level of improvisational company. It’s a difficult form in
which three scenes are created and then advanced over and over.
Okay, right, you really got to see it to get it. THEY, Broward’s
well regarded improv group, will offer an opportunity when it
tackles the complex format as part of a fundraiser called Hope
for Vision Live. THEY will be joined by Keegan-Michael Key, a
seasoned improviser known for his work on Mad TV. More interactive
laughs will be provided by Miami’s fourteen year old outfit Laughing
Gas Improv Theatre Company. Along with the comics, the Miami Heat
Dancers, Soultree Motion Dance, Crescendo, and many others will
perform to help Hope for Vision, which is trying to end retinal
degenerative and other blinding diseases. Tickets range from $30
to $125 for the 6:30 p.m. event at the North Miami Beach Theater
of the Performing Arts. Call 305-989-8032, or visit www.hopeforvisionlive.com.
After the laughs, head over to the Biscayne Commons (14831 Biscayne
Blvd., North Miami) for a party featuring Miami’s DJ Le Spam.
Mon., April 24
North Miami Beach Performing Arts Theater, 17011 NE 19th Ave ,
