From HCC: Howard Community College's (HCC) Arts Collective (AC) continues its 22nd season with "A Valentine Affair" on February 10 and 11, 2017. AC lights a match to this Valentine's Season with two distinctively different back-to-back shows, "Love is…?" and "Love Synchs!" presented by AC's popular improv troupe, "What Improv Group?!?!" (W.I.G), Humanities Department, and the Howard County Poetry and Literature Society (HoCoPoLitSo). Both shows feature W.I.G.'s ground-breaking, edgy take on improvisation, complete with audience participation.



"Love Is…?" will be performed on Friday, February 10, 2017. This improv show fuses the stellar work of improv actors with literary love stories curated by HoCoPoLitSo and HCC's creative writers, exploring the flammable subjects of love, romance, and all matter of the heart. "Love Synchs!" will follow on Saturday, February 11, 2017. For this show, W.I.G. brings sexy back with its lip-synching contest that brought down the house last season. Only this time, the audience is invited to join the "competition." Visit howardcc.edu/artscollective for more details.

Both performances start at 8 p.m. in the Rouse Company Foundation Student Services Building, Room 400, at HCC, 10901 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia Maryland. The performances duration is approximately two hours, with one intermission. Tickets are $20 for general admission, $15 for seniors, faculty, staff and military, and $10 for students. The price of the ticket includes wine, coffee, and treats in a gorgeous cabaret atmosphere! For tickets, visithowardecc.edu/boxoffice or call 443-518-1500. The box office will also be open 90 minutes prior to each show time Tuesday-Friday, 12-6 p.m.
