Look up on the stage... It's an improv show! It's a concert! It's a cabaret! It's a hybrid performance with travel themes as well as funky Bayou blues and boogie-woogie by musical guests Mark Lewis (piano and Farfisa organ), Scott Sawyer (guitar), and Nathan Logan (percussion). It's Transactors Across America!

This show is also a fundraiser. Transactors Improv has been invited to perform at the 2007 Chicago and San Francisco Improv Festivals. Transactors are the only improv company from the Southeast performing at these prestigious international festivals. But Transactors need your help to offset travel and lodging costs.

Show Transactors your love by sending them away! For $25 you can purchase a VIP ticket to this event. VIPs are treated to the best seats in the house and pre-show champagne along with a meet-the-performers appetizers-and-wine reception after the show. A silent auction, featuring tickets to area theaters and items such as a pair of autographed latex dishwashing gloves, will be open to all audience members.

And Transactors Improv is a not-for-profit organization, meaning any additional largesse is tax deductible!

The cast for Transactors Across America includes Anoushka Brod, Jill Greeson, director Greg Hohn, Rachel Klem, Jeffrey Moore, Nancy Pekar, Dan Sipp, and Steven Warnock. Mike Beard improvises technical effects.
