Ecchi-sensei (from our Team Henshin-H anime parody plays) has much to teach you at Zipcon tomorrow Saturday, February 28 at the University of Akron with-after dark improv games suitable only for mature audiences with immature senses of humor! Anything can happen with improvisation, especially when the censors come off! (Though always remember: comedy should be funny and not hurtful.)

(But don't worry, we'll have our family friendly performance of plays inspired by traditional Japanese comedic theatre earlier at the event!)
