In addition to 40 hours of quality improvisation, there will be 40 hours of raising money hand over fist.  Audiences and supporters of improv in Austin will be offered a variety of ways to financially demonstrate their patronage throughout the weekend, including ticket sales, a raffle, a giving tree, the Best Seat in the House, a pancake breakfast and more.  10% of all proceeds will be donated to the Austin Improv Collective, a local nonprofit dedicated to facilitating improvisation in Austin, Texas (www.austinimprov.com).  A further 10% will go to Theatre Action Project, a team of professionally trained artists and educators that offers creative arts and education programs for social change to over 15,000 people every year (www.theatreactionproject.org).
