“The Dating Game” meets “Whose Line is it Anyway?” That’s the best way to describe what Ed Reggi and his Paper Slip Theatre will present on Friday, Feb. 26, at 8:00 p.m. at Jacoby Arts Center. 

When We First Met is one-part high energy, two-parts improv games and a dash of love stories told by the audience. The award-winning Paper Slip cast includes Jamie Pitt, Chris Hartman, Cooper Shaw, DeAnna Massie, Darrell Barber and Michele Dumoulin. Under the direction of comedian and the evening’s host, Ed Reggi, will take real life stories about dating and falling in love to a whole new comedy experience.
