Rare Bird Show Announces Shows for April 10 and 11

Latest show news from Rare Bird Show:

Rare Bird Show has shows coming up this weekend (Friday & Saturday night at 8) with a really great sketch group called the Action Section. The shows are at the Shubin (a block south of South Street and 4th) and there's only so many seats, so if you really want to see the show, I'd recommend buying tickets online (same price as at the door; just 10 bucks).
Click here for more information.

And the 10 o'clock show is Kevin Allison from MTV's The State. He's also teaching at Philly Improv Theater; check out www.phillyimprovtheater.com for more information.
