All regular shows are Fridays at 10 p.m. in the black box theater on the lower level of the
student union. Doors open at 9:40. Admission is one dollar, exact change appreciated, and we can't
take checks for a dollar, please stop trying. The black box seats ninety, so come early. Shows run
about an hour and fifteen minutes, or until the union kicks us out.

THE IMPROV-A-THON
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 · NOON TO MIDNIGHT · UNION BALLROOM
Once a year we do improv for twelve hours straight to raise money. This is the fourth one. The
troupe stays onstage (with bathroom breaks and a pizza delivery at six) and the audience comes and
goes all day. Admission is free. The money comes from pledges and from the bucket.
| Noon to 3 | Family hours. Clean games, kid suggestions, and kids can come up and play a round of Freeze Tag with us. |
| 3 to 6 | The classics. Every game on the games page and some we only play once a year. |
| 6 to 9 | Guest hour: Dr. Zoller and a few brave professors play a round with us. Last year the dean of students did a party quirk. |
| 9 to midnight | Late night. We're tired, you're tired, everything's funnier. At midnight, the Twelfth-Hour Hoedown, sung by whoever is still upright. |
How pledges work: pick up a pledge sheet at any show or e-mail us for one. Get friends,
family and that one rich uncle to pledge an amount per hour, like a quarter or a dollar an hour,
and collect after the 'thon. Or just put money in the bucket when you come by. Half of everything
goes to the campus food pantry. The other half goes toward sending the troupe to a college improv
festival in the spring, which we have never been able to afford.
Last year: $1,860, 41 different games, three hoarse voices, one standing nap (Richard),
and one marriage proposal in the audience at 10:40 p.m., which we did not plan and could not top.
She said yes.
