Third
Annual South Florida Improv Jam
The Third Annual South Florida Improv Jam will be held at 8pm
on Saturday, September 18th, 2004 at the Roxy Performing Arts
Center.
While last years' event raised over $1,000 to benefit Gilda's
Club of South Florida (for more information on last years
"Jam", click
here), this years' event brings you something truly special.
Laughing Gas joins with South Florida's other top improv
troupes in this event, organized by Impromedy to help the
Chris Farley Foundation.
The
Chris Farley Foundation is dedicated to the prevention of
substance abuse. It focuses on communicating the consequences
of drugs and alcohol abuse to kids, teens, and young adults.
Using Chris' humor as inspiration, it creates communications that
enable our audiences to develop personal skills to respond positively
to pressures that impact choices regarding substance abuse.
"We are proud to be a part of this event and are pleased
that Impromedy organized this event to support the Chris Farley
Foundation" said Laughing Gas cast member Todd
Rice. "We hope that through laughter we can help spread
their message."
