Valentine's weekend brings music, improv, and much more

Ventura, CA - Two comedy improv shows will be dedicated to exploring all aspects of love during the Ventura Improv Company's special Valentine's weekend, Friday and Saturday, February 11 and 12. Families, couples, and singles are warmly welcomed.

On Friday, February 11, at 8pm, musical improvisers from the Ventura Improv Company (VIC) will sing about the search for love, and all the mysteries and passions contained within. Based on titles and anecdotes provided by the audience, the talented musicians and singers will make up songs on the spot. A long-form, Broadway-style musical will complete the second half of the evening. The admissions for the night's show will be $10.

On Saturday, February 12, at 8pm, the VIC will present its yearly (and ever-popular) Valentine's Show. Performers will create improvised scenes, games, and musical numbers about love and romance. The cost of admission includes the show, champagne and cider, roses and chocolates for the audience, a photo area, and raffle of prizes. Special admission price is $15.

The VIC, now in its 21st year, is a fixture of downtown Ventura. Audience members, many of them loyal attendees for years, always enjoy this yearly Valentine's event. "It's a departure from our usual weekend improv shows," says Judy Gottlieb, Vice President of the VIC. "We love offering the special extras to the audience, and the night is often hilarious and touching at the same time."

Reservations are recommended. More information or reservations can be obtained by calling (805) 643-5701 x2, emailing vic@venturaimprov.com, or accessing www.venturaimprov.com/?p=2514.

About Ventura Improv Company
In 1989, Barbara Scott from Bay Area TheatreSports™ came to Ventura County to visit her mother and, while here, put on an improv workshop. The attendees included Gary Best and Tom Mueller, who considered the workshop "a revelation," and went on to form a local TheatreSports™ league. In the two decades since then, that league grew up to be Ventura Improv Company (VIC).

Located in the historic Livery complex in downtown Ventura, VIC offers comedy improv shows every weekend and a full lineup of improv and movement workshops throughout the year.

VIC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Ventura Improv Company is located at 34 North Palm Street, Ventura, CA 93001. The groups website is http://www.venturaimprov.com
