'Night at the Improv' raises money for updates to auditorium

Posted

PORTSMOUTH — Local thespians put their thinking caps on for "Night at the Improv," which was held Sunday afternoon in the Portsmouth High School auditorium.

The event, which featured PHS students joining the Bit Players for an evening of comedy improvisation, was a fund-raiser for the Kate Grana Music and Arts Association, which wants to transform the auditorium into a state-of-the-art community hub for drama and music. 

PHS student Annabelle Gibson organized the show for her senior project.
