Improv 4 Kids, begins a limited run September 17, 2011. The educational outreach program of Improv Comedy troupe EIGHT IS NEVER ENOUGH will offer public performances Saturdays at 3pm thru October 29, 2011 (plus Sunday 10/9 3pm) at the Broadway Comedy Club (318 West 53rd). $20-35

Improv 4 Kids has received rave reviews from Press and Fans alike since 2004 when a Farmington, CT school teacher asked Eight Is Never Enough to do an educational Improv show at four schools. The production team soon found their niche, now running 400+ K-12 shows, workshops and residencies every year including hosting field trips at NYC theaters and Comedy Clubs and presenting assembly, after school and evening/weekend programs at schools nationwide.

We cannot tell you exactly what the show will be about, as this is Improv. However you can expect high-energy, fast-paced family fun including songs and skits based on the children's suggestions. Recent songs and skits have had fun with a number of summer block buster movies, Justin Beiber, favorite Disney and Nickelodeon Programs and the End of Summer Blues.

Bring your cameras because you are allowed to snap photos and videos when your child is on stage. In the most popular, the Freeze Frame Game, volunteers join the cast in a series of poses to create a Human Slide Show of a famous historical event - always a crowd favorite. In other games volunteers help cast finish sentences and thoughts or provide bizarre sounds effects.

The producers of Improv 4 Kids would like to extend apologies to fans that showed up for cancelled performances at the Times Square Comedy Club. The venue closed without warding going into Labor Day weekend. If you have tickets or vouchers they will be honored at any performance at the Broadway.
