My Refuge House is hosting a raucously fun and inspirational evening featuring the Improvised Shakespeare Company with emcee, actor/comedian Sandy Velasco, on April 30, 2023, at the Woman’s Club of South Pasadena in South Pasadena, CA. Celebrating 15 years of My Refuge House’s journey, this annual benefit will bestow the healing power of laughter while embodying the values of storytelling, bearing witness and building bridges across communities to spark joy.

The Improvised Shakespeare Company (ISC) brings an evening of off-the-cuff comedy using the language and themes of William Shakespeare. Regulars at The Largo at the Coronet in Hollywood and featured at comedy events worldwide, here is an opportunity to see these comedy improv wizards locally. One of ISC’s performers is local Cub Scout Pack 7 Leader and SPMS/Marengo dad, Joey Bland.

“This event is an opportunity for others to be part of our journey with their laughter and their generosity. People who may never be involved in direct care have the chance to strengthen our impact of hope and healing.” – Heather Bland, CEO of My Refuge House

Thanks to an anonymous donor and the First Congregational Church of Pasadena, all event proceeds will support this life changing work. The event will also include a silent auction open to all. Information about tickets and other sponsorship opportunities is available online at MyRefugeHouse.org/muchado
