What did you do last Friday? Did you go out to a restaurant with your friends or family? Head to an event or party? Celebrate Good Friday, maybe? Wouldn’t it be awesome to make this Friday even better?

“Well, last Friday night was pretty awesome. I doubt I could top it today,” you might argue.

Oh, contraire, dear friend. At 7:00 tonight, you could have a handful of extremely talented people perform for your comedic pleasure as you roll on the floor in stitches of laughter. Honestly, what could possibly be better then starting your evening off with that?

“How could I experience this wonderful performance? What, exactly, am I getting myself into??

No Strings Attached (NSA), Harrisonburg’s improv comedy troupe, is one of the best experiences you could possibly have in this great city of ours. The members have been together since 2008, and all of them have a natural aptitude for one thing: Making you laugh. If you’re not familiar with the concept of improv comedy, you may be more familiar with a very popular improv TV show, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Basically, the actors are given a situation and without any preparation whatsoever, they have to use witty dialogue and actions to make sense of each situation, no matter how obscure.

NSA will be performing at our favorite local music store, Adona Music, today, April 9, at 7:00 PM. Complete with archetypical characters, the improv corps is a great idea for all ages. Their comedy style could be described as community-driven and guaranteed not to offend.

I suppose since you’re taking my advice as to what you should do to fill your Friday evening, I should introduce myself. I’m Katelyn, a writer hired to help publicize this blog and the many events that happen at Adona. Consider this a virtual handshake.

Now that we’ve been properly introduced, I leave you with the main point of this entry (the first of many, mind you): Come see No Strings Attached doing what they do best. It’s the best way in the ‘Burg to fill your Fridays. Not feeling well? Had a bad day at work or school? Come anyway! NSA will fix you right up!

You know what they say-- laughter is always the best medicine.
