Choose Mission IMPROVable tomorrow

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to attend Mission IMPROVable at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow, Dec. 14, in Eppley Auditorium. This fast-paced and exciting new form of comedy is a combination of MTV’s “Wild “N Out” and “Who’s Line is it Anyway?” – but there is a bit of a twist. Just like in the old TV series “Mission Impossible,” the Chicago-based actors in Mission IMPROVable pretend to be agents. The audience members are the co-agents and participate in the hilarious theater games or “missions” by yelling out suggestions. The on-the-spot randomness provided by the audience makes each mission unique and very often hysterical. This show will leave you with a smile on your face and your stomach aching from laughter. It’s sponsored by CAB and free for all who attend. For more information on Mission IMPROVable, go to www.missionimprovable.com.
