MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) – The Yuba-Sutter Improv Club (YSIC) will be presenting IMPROVIVOR - Season 2 on Friday, June 30, starting at 7 p.m. inside the historic Burrows Theater in Marysville. IMPROVIVOR is a comedic spin off of the early 2000s hit reality TV series “Survivor.” This format was developed by YSIC members, many of whom grew up watching the show, as a way to include all performers regardless of their skill level or training. During the show, players will be divided into teams and challenged to a series of theater games and comedic shticks based on audience suggestions. The last player left standing will be crowned this season’s IMPROVIVING champion!

In IMPROVIVOR - Season 1 this past March, YSIC member Steve Protine became the inaugural winner, beating out the club’s founder and coach, Shamaya Sutton, by a fraction of voluminous applause.

“Did I expect it? No, but I suppose that was my first mistake,” said Sutton. “In Improv you should always expect the unexpected.”

“You’ll never be able to take this away from me,” added Protine, clutching tightly to his trophy.

YSIC has been working hard to tighten its format and is looking forward to giving their players another shot at redemption, revenge, and glory in this season’s episode of IMPROVIVOR! The show will begin promptly at 7 p.m. at the Lee Burrows Center for the Arts at 630 E Street in Marysville. Tickets cost $10 per person and can be purchased online at https://yubasutterarts.org/event/improvisor-june-2023/.

This show is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18. Snacks, beverages, and adult drinks will be available for purchase.
