Bookings: 62471223 or www.thestreet.org.au
This charity event will see $5 from every ticket going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).
The stage is set and Chic begins by posing the question 'What would happen if two strangers in the audience were to meet?' Their chance meeting is played out before your very eyes in 'Chance Encounters'.
The second act will surprise and delight, as you the audience decide which improvisers sing and when, in the musical 'Smells like a song'.
Following the success of the inaugural Improvention held in July, which brought together improvisers from all over Australia, Impro ACT is looking forward to using their talents to raise much needed funds for a very worthy cause.
Sunday night is a Gala night so dress up to the nines and enjoy a free glass of bubbly with your ticket.
Be stylish and be seen at Chic!
