The Panic Squad improv team comes to Abbotsford on March 6 for their annual show, hosted by Gallery 7 Theatre.

Gallery 7 Theatre once again hosts the comedy improv team The Panic Squad, this time with an expanded cast of players.

The family-friendly show takes place Friday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m. at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way.

Using only suggestions provided by the audience, Panic Squad leaps into action, creating scenes right out of thin air.

“Our annual comedy improv show is always a crowd-pleaser,” says Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre’s executive/artistic director.

“What’s unique about The Panic Squad show here at Gallery 7 Theatre, besides being super-clean, is that they bring a few more performers than their usual show, and they premiere new games that have never before been seen.”
