The
Harrisburg
Improv
Theatre,
a
35-­‐seat
performing
arts
space
in
Midtown
Harrisburg,
is
announcing
improv
comedy
shows
and
classes
as
part
of
its
grand
opening
in
September.
The
H.I.T.
has
a
lineup
of
shows
every
Saturday
from
7
to
10
p.m.,
including
a
show
inspired
by
Craigslist
missed
connections
ads,
a
radio
play-­‐style
show
in
the
dark,
and
a
free
“improv
mixer”
where
beginners
and
experienced
performers
alike
can
try
it
out
for
themselves
on
stage.
H.I.T.
house
teams,
featuring
graduates
of
the
theatre’s
training
program,
will
also
perform
a
classic
improv
called
the
“Harold.”
There
will
also
be
classes
in
improv
comedy
offered
by
its
two
New
York-­‐trained
instructors,
on
Wednesday
and
Sunday
nights
beginning
on
Sept.
24.
Instructors
Jake
Compton
and
Paul
Barker
founded
the
H.I.T.
in
2014
with
the
goal
of
creating
a
performance
and
training
space
for
the
style
of
improv
comedy
they
studied
in
New
York
City.
The
N.
3rd
Street
theatre
partially
opened
this
summer
with
an
initial
series
of
classes
and
shows.
In
August,
a
new
stage
was
completed,
converting
the
space
that
formerly
housed
an
art
gallery
into
a
black
box
theatre.
For
a
tour
of
the
space
or
to
set
up
an
interview,
interested
media
should
contact
owners
Jake
and

Compton

information,
including
a
