April’s Fools Are Boston Strong!
The improv troupe known as April’s Fools turned its May show into a fundraiser for One Fund Boston raising over $1,100 to benefit the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. “The troupe felt strongly that they wanted to make a statement in support of all the victims of this terrible tragedy,” said Boston native and co-director Sean Hannaway. “This tragedy affected the whole country and we had specific interest to support a local runner from Redondo Beach that was injured in the bombings,” he added.
The One Fund Boston was setup specifically to provide financial support to the victims and to date has raised over $30 Million. April’s Fools made a point of thanking everybody who came out for the show and supported the event, including their sponsors Buona Vita, Thai Top, and SBH Marketing as well as many other contributors. Hannaway seemed to speak on behalf of everyone present at the show when he stated, “Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and the long recovery they have ahead.” The troupe wore special T-shirts that asked the rhetorical question, “Who says we are 3,000 miles away!”
April’s Fools Comedy Improv Troupe performs monthly in Hermosa Beach’s 2nd Story Theater. For more information, visit www.aprilsfoolsimprov.com.
