BLUE RIDGE, Ga.
Have laugh, help chimps
Blue Ridge Community Theater announces a fundraising partnership with Project Chimps at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14, when everyone can attend a night of improv and laughs with special guests from Dad’s Garage, Atlanta’s most celebrated comedy theater since 1995.
A team of improvisers led by television’s Amber Nash (Archer) will perform games, stories and characters, all made up on the spot for your pleasure. Never seen before, and never seen again, a night of improv with Dad’s Garage is always guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind Atlanta talent without Atlanta traffic.
Tickets cost $65 and are available on our website, www.BlueRidgeCommunityTheater.com, or by calling 706-632-9191.
Project Chimps was founded to provide lifelong exemplary care to 200 former research chimpanzees at its sanctuary on 230-plus acres of forested land in the Blue Ridge Mountains of north Georgia. Today, Project Chimps is home to 99 chimpanzees, and officials are working to move nearly 100 more to permanent sanctuary.
