The Improv Group Capital City Improv plans to perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 29. Johnson Hall, 280 Water St. in Gardiner.
Dennis Price, founder of Capital City Improv, studied and performed improvisation in Chicago with The Second City and IO Theater (formerly ImprovOlympic). While performing with IO house team Honeyslide, Dennis watched and worked with some of the best improvisers in Chicago.
