Improvisational comedy troupe Stick Horses in Pants is partnering with Colorado Springs School to provide monthly improv shows Jan. through April 2008. "This unique partnership with the Stick Horses allows The Colorado Springs School to offer quality family entertainment in our theatre to CSS families while also inviting the public to join us on campus," said Kevin Reel, Head of School at The Colorado Springs School. "We value opportunities for families to laugh, build relationships and quite possibly engage in a game or activity that has true educational value and motivates kids." Beginning on Jan. 26, the Stick Horses will take the CSS stage the fourth Saturday of each month to perform a comedy show for families. CSS was established in 1960 as a private college preparatory school for girls, and currently serves over 450 co-ed students from pre-school through 12th grade. "We're excited to partner with a quality institution like CSS," says founding SHiP member Hunter Willis. "We share the vision of bringing quality entertainment to Colorado Springs families."

The first performance will be held on Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Louisa Performing Arts Center at CSS. Tickets may be purchased at the door or online at www.thestickhorses.com: Adults, $8; Students, $6. The family-friendly show will feature hilarious, on-the-spot skits based on audience suggestions. Bring your ideas, and come ready to laugh!
