As I've written here, it's tough to find good, real improv comedy work these days. Too often, you get a "fill-in-the-blanks" performance that resembles one of those old Mad-Libs games, rather than improv. But I think there's going to be real improv at a two-night-only event in Pacific Palisades on October 8 and 9. A group of seasoned performers will be doing "An Evening with the Spolin Players" and their ranks include Eddie Allen, Dan Castellaneta, Donna Dubain, Deb Lacusta, Danny Mann, John Mariano, Anna Mathias, Gail Matthius, David McCharen, Edie McClurg, Pat Musick and Gary Schwartz. Darned good lineup, there. For more info, go here. Then, to see some brilliantly talented folks making it up on the spot, go to Pacific Palisades that weekend.
