For five years "THE ALL GIRL REVUE" has been performing together, monthly, at Los Angeles' Fanatic Salon Theater. The all woman improvisational troupe, featuring cast members Edie McClurg, Jane Morris, Ruth Rudnick, Mary Wachtel, Maureen Kelly, Kathleen Campbell and Dee Ryan is seeking to return to Boston and participate in the Women in Comedy Festival where in 2010 they won the Friars Club award.

Seems, as in most things improv, they hit a snag and have found a creative way around it. Funding for the trip became difficult and the troupe has turned to kickstarter to try and raise the $4500 they need.

Having known many of the cast members for the better part of 20 years, I can not only attest to their fantastic talent on stage but just what lovely people they are. If you can help them out, please do -- I certainly did. If you are in the Boston area Friday March 23, catch their show at ImprovBoston!

    First the NEA, and now this?  If they have talent, they can get to Boston on their own.
