MONMOUTH, Ill. – Three Monmouth College alumni who have combined their theatrical and improvisational talents will return to the college and present a "Weekend of Improv" this Saturday and Sunday, March 22 and 23.

Recent Monmouth graduates Mike Fotis and Joe Bozic, class of 1999, and Matt Fotis, class of 2001, will perform a show based on their recent work in Minneapolis on Saturday, March 22, at 7:30 p.m. in the Wells Theater. The show is open to the public and admission is $2 at the door.

The first half of the Saturday evening show will feature "Ferrari McSpeedy," the work of Bozic and Mike Fotis. Ferrari McSpeedy, an improvisational troupe, has been performing in the Twin Cities since June of 2001, and their most recent show, "Punk Rock Omaha" was named one of the Top 10 shows of 2002 by City Pages critic Max Spacker. After a brief intermission, Matt Fotis will join Ferrari McSpeedy as the trio works on pieces guaranteed to entertain.

Then on Sunday, March 23, at 2 p.m. in the Wells Theater, the alumni will present a "Jam Show" with members of Monmouth College’s own improv troupes–Anvil Head Theatre and Scotch Tape. The Sunday afternoon show is free and open to the public.

According to Bill Wallace, professor of speech communication and theater arts and director of theater, the Fotis brothers and Bozic have been "hard at work establishing themselves in the Minneapolis improv scene.

"It’s always fun to have alumni return, and this should be a chance to see how far Joe, Matt, and Mike have progressed since leaving the college," says Wallace. "It should also be a great opportunity for our students to work with the trio on stage."
