GARDINER — Capital City Improv will perform at Johnson Hall Performing Arts Center on Water Street at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24.

He worked with the Theater at Monmouth for 12 years, and he was also seen at the Penobscot Theater in Bangor and The Public Theater in Lewiston. During the summer, he performs with Improv Acadia in Bar Harbor.
