Improv in Bonner Springs...and beyond..?

First off, I have a personal announcement: I will be performing in the 2nd season of The Next Big Improv Show.

Last I heared from John, there were 2 spots left.

Second, I can finally note for sure that we are (for the summer anyway) leaving our Lawrence location where we have been performing improv and Thursday nights and we are moving to The Great Mall of the Great Planes in Olathe, KS.

Only, instead of performing on Thursday nights, we'll be performing out there on Wednesday evenings. As it says on the Roving Imp page about our first show out there: "The Roving Imps take the show on the road to the Great Mall of the Great Plains for the first of a series of shows highlighting games, fun scenes, and hilarious longer made up plays. Join us from 6:30-8:30pm for this FREE show!"

Finally, as much as I would love to do my own version of "We Are The World" for this, I just don't have the rescourses to do it on my own. Even if others joined me, I'd still need your help! But it's more important to follow this:

As stated from it's page on the Roving Imp website:
Kansas has a reputation... and it's not a good one. Whether it's the topic of evolution or the arts, we've gotten a lot of bad press. It's our firm belief that lack of artistic opportunity in the state of Kansas will lead to another generation of boring, selfish, television watchers. Kansas needs to make opportunities to learn a creative skill - and that's where the Kansas Improvisation Foundation comes in.

The KIF will create opportunities for the people of Kansas to be exposed to the many varieties of improvisational acting. KIF will use its funds to give scholarships to take improv classes, to bring in outstanding teachers from other cities, and to provide classes and performances to areas with no other access to this kind of art form.

The KIF is just getting started, and needs funding to make its launch official - that means it needs 501(c)3 status to be able to apply for grants and other help.

Don't let the forces of evil win. Help spread the fun and skill of improv all over the state of Kansas!

The amount that needs to be raised is $520. That is $20 to file in the state as a non-profit. Then $400 need to be rasied to file with the IRS. Then, we need the final $100 for legal fees and fund-raising charges to make it happen.
