The Improvised Book Club at the UPC!!!

Ok so we’ve got music and readings planned for this year’s UPC but we’ve also got some other very special entertainment planned for you as well!  The Improvised Book Club will be performing at the UPC on 3/26/11 at Conpsire! Don’t know what they are/do? Well read this nifty writeup:

 

The Improvised Bookclub is an ensemble of some of Phoenix’s best improvisers. Each month they will read a different book and then bring it to the stage for dicussion. They will talk about themes, symbolism, author’s writing style and more and then create completely made up scenes about the material. Have a book report due or just forgot to read the book for your own book club? Let The Improvised Bookclub do the work for you while you look like a literary genius to your friends and teachers.

How cool is that? They combine our love for performance and literature in one fell swoop! Don’t miss this!

 

The Pods have been added to the UPC lineup!

We’re so excited to have them on the bill!

Check out their music here and come to the UPC on 3/26/11 from 11-6pm to them play live!

Other acts in the lineup include Jessie Williams, Anna Moncada, and The Improv Book Club!

Entry to the UPC is free! Don’t miss it!
