GRANTHAM, Pa. (Sept. 27, 2005) — Messiah College will present “An Evening with Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood, stars of ABC’s ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’” on Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. in Brubaker Auditorium in the Eisenhower Campus Center on the college’s Grantham campus. Mochrie and Sherwood will perform at Messiah College in honor of the inauguration of President Kim S. Phipps as the eighth president of the college. General admission tickets cost $25 and can be purchased by calling the Messiah College ticket office at (717) 691-6036.

Following enormously successful solo tours, the stars of the Emmy-nominated “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and fellow improvisation artists, Mochrie and Sherwood, have teamed up to present an evening of extraordinary improvisational comedy.

Using their quick wit, the duo takes contributions from the audience to create hilarious and original scenes. Throughout the evening, the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun. Their high-profile presentations have been performed for corporations, universities and theatres throughout the country.

Due to the overwhelming response of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” Mochrie and Sherwood can be seen performing more than 15 times a week on ABC, Comedy Central and the Lifetime Channel.
