'ComedySportz'
From the event description:
If you like the long-running TV improv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" then you'll love "ComedySportz," a fun, fast-paced live comedy show that's great for the whole family. Watch two teams battle for laughs — and points — as they make up scenes, games and songs on the spot, with audience participation and suggestions incorporated into the act. Full of off-the-cuff humor and unpredictable moments, it's never the same show twice at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood. The longest-running stage show in Los Angeles, "ComedySportz" has been turning great improv into hilarious sport for more than 25 years.

'Opening Night: The Improvised Musical'
From the event description:
"Opening Night: The Improvised Musical" is exactly that — a Broadway-style musical that's made up on the spot, based on a single audience suggestion. Therefore, every night is the opening night of a musical that's never been seen. Sadly, it's also the closing night ... but closing night sounds so very final — and not even this cast can withstand the damage done by weekly wrap parties. Since 1998, "Opening Night"'s cast of veteran improvisers has combined Chicago and Los Angeles improv with the Broadway stylings of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gilbert & Sullivan and Andrew Lloyd Webber, resulting in over 1,000 original musicals. Marvel as they score and choreograph a show right in front of your eyes at the Second City Studio Theatre in Los Angeles.
When: Friday, Nov. 22, 9:30 p.m.
Where: Second City Studio Theatre, 6560 Hollywood Blvd.
Price: $6
