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 14, 2012 at 8pm and 10pm. Weekly performances continue through February 4, 2012. Tickets are $10 each. $5 for improvisers and improv students. Admission is FREE if you're celebrating your birthday with us!

At 8pm our students from Casady High School will showcase their razor sharp short form chops followed by boundary crossing comedy of The Big O. The darling dames of themed comedy, The MiDolls, will close out the 8pm show. Hoofer Scott Hynes will also be performing improvised tap dance numbers throughout the show.

At 10pm, two Tulsa-based groups take the stage. First up, its the top secret short form comedy of Operation Improv followed by improvised medical sitcom Best Medicine. The 10pm closes out with the nefarious comedy of Villain: The Musical as they create an entire one act musical where the bad guy is always the main character.

In addition to our normal Saturday improv classes, OKC Improv Artistic Directors Buck and Clint Vrazel will be teaching an advanced improv workshop on "Building a Show" from 12-3pm on Sunday, January 15 at Ghostlight Theatre Club (3110 N Walker, OKC).
