FARMINGTON — Bust down some snowbanks and climb aboard a toboggan. The Mt. Blue Curtain Raisers are taking advantage of the break in the weather to deliver some improv comedy and help the Wilton Area Food Pantry for good measure, Friday, Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Mt. Blue Campus Forum.

The Mt. Blue Curtain Raisers perform unscripted, audience interactive comedy, built on the suggestions provided from the crowd. They perform short-form games like those popularized on “Whose Line Is It, Anyway?” as well as original scene-based games, that combine a little bit of everything. The audience provides the ideas and the Curtain Raisers deliver the laughter.

Each year the troupe travels to Boston in the spring to perform at ImprovBoston, a professional comedy theater in Cambridge. Cash donations will be accepted at the door to support this trip. In lieu of a cash donation, the Curtain Raisers encourage everyone attending this performance to bring a nonperishable food item for the Wilton Area Food Pantry. With the brutal weather and more and more households in need in our community, resources are running in short supply.

 Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Donations accepted at the door. Questions may be directed to Mt. Blue Curtain Raisers Artistic Director, Dan Ryder, at [email protected].
