NEEDS IMPROVMENT May 2, 7:30 PM Roberts/Dubbs Auditorium Brookline High School's talented improv troupe can make a mountain out of a molehill and turn a phrase inside out in the blink of an eye. Their array of short and long-form skits require fast thinking, quick wit, and an ability to roll with the punches - not to mention a willingness to play the fool to hilarious effect. This benefit performance gives you a chance to laugh 'til it hurts and lend a helping hand at the same time. Bring a canned donation for Needs Improvment's food drive for the needy.
