THEY

Witha A Cause program. "Our 'Comedy
With a Cause' program has successfully raised tens of thousands
of dollars for area charities while providing quality entertainment,"
said THEY Director Todd Rice. "Radio Lollipop has brings
laughter to children and families at the hospital when they need
it 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 second annual 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 be working again with their organization
which continues to prove that they are genuinely interested in
being a positive contributor to the community around us."
In addition to the comedy show, there will also be a raffle of
very impressive donated items that will help raise money for the
organization.
Each THEY improv show
is based on audience suggestions, so there can never be the same
show twice. Every show is a unique experience and is shared only
among those in attendance.
Tickets
are $10 + tax, with the ticket sales going to the charity. There
is a 2 drink minimum. Audience members must be 18 or over and
