at the Miami Improv on Wednesday, April 5th.
Coconut
Grove, FL: THEY improv, Broward County's improv
troupe, will perform to benefit the Miami Children's Hospital
"Radio Lollipop" program at the world famous Miami Improv
on Wednesday, April 5th. The doors open at 7pm with entertainment
and silent auction leading up to the live performance beginning
at 8pm. This rare jaunt into Miami-Dade County will also feature
appearances by Laughing Gas and WMXJ Majic 102.7 on-air personality
Joe Johnson.
"Our
'Comedy With a Cause' program
has successfully raised a lot of money for charity while bringing
top-notch performances to South Florida audiences," said
THEY Director Todd Rice. "Radio Lollipop has provided humor
and enjoyment for audiences of children at the hospital that truly
need to be entertained the most. We're happy to help any way we
can."
Radio Lollipop believes in the healing power of play, having begun
in 1978 at Queen Mary's Hospital for Children in Surrey England.
Since it's beginning, the program has expanded to Australia, New
Zealand, and of course the United States. More information on
Radio Lollipop is available on their website at www.radiolollipop.org
or at the Miami Children's Hospital website at www.mch.com/patient/radio_lollipop.htm.
On August 14th, 1996, Miami Children's became the first hospital
in the United States to host a Radio Lollipop.
THEY improv continues to change the face of Comedy
in South Florida by bringing this show together at the Miami Improv
for this worthwhile event, this time with the help of Majic 102.7.
The station is a valuable member of this effort and has offered
an extreme amount of support for the cause.
"Majic
102.7 has a long history of helping children in need," said
THEY Director Todd Rice. "Through the Majic Children's Fund
and other ways, we're happy to work with another organization
genuinely interested in being a positive contributor to the community
around us."
In addition to the comedy show, there will also be a silent auction
of very impressive donated items that will help raise money for
the organization.
THEY
improv was selected at the ImprovMiami Prizes 2005 as the Best
Short Form Troupe for Broward County. Laughing Gas won the award
for the Best Short Form Troupe for Miami-Dade County. The two
troupes come together for this rare double appearance bringing
the best of South Florida under one roof at the Miami Improv.

among those in attendance.
