One of the reasons Little Rock can be seen as a thriving art culture centric city is the great improv troupe Improv Little Rock. I caught their Improv Strikes Back not too long ago with the wife and it was hugely entertaining. Here is a message from Josh Rice about their return:

March is here, and while we’re all more than ready for a change in seasons, don’t forget that you’re smack dab in the middle of Season V of ImprovLittleRock! And with the decreased likelihood of Mother Nature chiming in this time, we’ve got the type of full improvised weekend you’ve come to love and expect. For your consideration:
Friday March 12th at 10pm: The Harold
Long-form improv returns to the Public Theatre, but you won’t be waiting long for the laughs. Watch as we take a few simple suggestions from the audience and weave them into a rich tapestry of hilarity. Kind of like that movie Wanted, but way more believable. There’s no way to know where this night will take you comedically, so jump aboard and hang on.
Sautrday March 13th 10pm: ILR’s Comedy Throwdown
The Throwdown saw it’s Season V debut wiped out by ice and snow, so let’s try this again, shall we? Ahem… ImprovLittleRock’s most tried and true format returns for 2010 with two-teams, one hard-to-please judge, and an audience inspiring us with ideas while they witness the battle for comic supremacy. Who will win? (Hint: It’s you! The competition is just an allegory and vessel for your amusement!)

Tickets to each show are $8 at the door, and take place at the Public Theatre, 616 Center St, between 6th and 7th in downtown Little Rock.  Call 374-PLAY for more information.
It’s our own version of March Madness, so: Come Get a Taste!
