IMPROV Tryouts coming to a close

Improv try-outs are taking place for the next 2 weeks Thursdays at lunch (12:30 - 1:05) in the theatre.  This year's selection process will be a little different, as a house team will be selected from the initial try-out group.  From the house team will be chosen a competitive team to be announced at a later date.   To be considered for either the house team or the competitive team, you must be present at at least one try-out.   The more you make it out to, the better chance you have!   Have fun, and remember to join the improv revolution.                                       XD
