The general public may also choose to attend one of four (4) free Improv Workshops being offered by instructors from participating troupes from 11:00am - 1:00pm. Class sizes are limited, so positions in the workshops should be reserved early.This year marks the 4th time that various Improv Troupes in our region have come together to perform in an effort to celebrate an art form that is quickly becoming a staple in South Florida while assisting local charities. This year the event’s proceeds will benefit Gilda's Club® South Florida. Their mission is to provide a place where men, women and children living with cancer and their families and friends join with others to build social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care. Activities and events are free to members and are offered in a non-residential home-like setting. Gilda's Club is a free social and emotional support community named for Gilda Radner.
“We are fortunate to have the cooperation of the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts,” said Mod 27 Co-Executive Producer Dave Hyland. “This event is the first time such an event has been held at the Kravis Center and reminds us of how much this art form has grown in South Florida over the past few years. We hope that our turn as host will help continue the growth of improv in Palm Beach County.”
