CRUMBS and the Winnipeg Improv Festival

 So the Winnipeg if... Improv Festival is just about to start. The theatre is getting ready for awesomeness on the stage. The posters are being hung on lamp posts with care. Out of town guests are packing all their funniest underwear. The local improvisers and comedians are crossing off the days on their calendars. Audiences are starting to camp outside the Gas Station Arts Centre for tickets like they're a brand new Apple product. And finally, Winnipeg prepares for another festival honouring the artform of making it up.

As you may or may not know CRUMBS is behind the scenes making sure all the "making up" goes off without a hitch. This post is all about where you can catch CRUMBS while the festival starts up and roars into gear.
