Rags Rags & Riches: A two-faced benefit for Washington Improv Theater that's half penthouse and half flophouse. Riches
Vol. XX no. II Revolution ero improvidus. Washington, DC
We're living in the best of times and the worst of times, folks. The rich get richer, the poor get more credit cards. But whether your lifestyle is down-and-out or high-on-the-hog, there's one thing you can invest in that's guaranteed to gain in value: the future of Washington Improv Theater, DC's hometown champion of spontaneous creative genius. Join your fellow humanists for an unforgettable evening of fancy and frugal food, drinks, and carrying on.
What's Hopping at this Wingding:
Hobophoto/Richpics: Want a picture of yourself wearing a barrel with suspenders? Or maybe a nice tiara and feather boa? Either one will work at our Hobophoto/Richpics booth.
Tag In: Step into our ongoing improv scene. Tag in if and when you want. Tag out when it's time to catch the next boxcar outta town.
Have some hooch: No bathtub gin here, no sir! Maybe some trashcan punch, though.
Hoofers unite: And you don't have to do the old-timey dance where you switch your kneecaps back and forth with your hands at our clip joint.
Show us the cabbage: Adopt a down-on-his-luck improv Joe in the silent auction.
Push your luck: Enter the raffle to win something even sweeter than a can of beans.
