OKC Improv, Oklahoma's premier showcase for improvisational comedy and theater, continues its Winter 2012 Run at Ghostlight Theatre Club (3110 N Walker) with two awesome shows this Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 8pm and 10pm.

At 8pm Edmond-based teen group Kind of a Big Deal kick things off with some long form improv followed by the return of the generation-spanning comedy of Two's Company as they create an entire fictional family history inspired by a single photograph from the audience. The 8pm closes out with the jazzy relationship-driven comedy of The Ones Your Mother Warned You About.
At 10pm, its the world premiere of the politically charged duo One State Two State Red State Blue State made up of Tim Huckeby & Kellen Hodgeson followed by the long form improv of the recently re-christened Hindsight Improv (formerly Wingin' It). The 10pm closes with the world premiere of Off-Book: Musical Morsels, the new musical longform from the cast of Villain: the Musical that features shorter stand along scenes and songs tied together by a common theme.
