Vic High Improv

Help us send our hard-working Improv Club students to Berlin in March 2014 to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The trip itself (return airfare, accommodations, local transportation, festival workshops, festival pass for 15 students) will cost just over $32,000 - so anything we raise will help reduce the per student cost.
