Make 'em laugh...
Via Wallace over at Streams comes word of a new posse in town, The Venue, a self-described "Sketch Comedy and Improv Troupe located in Midland, TX."
Most if not all of the members of The Venue will be recognizable to Midlanders, as they include Hilary Evitt, news anchor and reporter for the local ABC affiliate; Cody and Jena Tumlin, frequent performers in MCT and other area productions; Phil Tytanic, a Summer Mummers regular; and Justin Tate, a stand-up comic and occasional blogger.
The Venue is available for private bookings. I think this is a great service for our area, and a good example of an economy that's "growing up." I hope they knock 'em dead!
Phil, we're big fans of laughter here at the Gazette. ;-)
