IV LIVE

I.V. LIVE is both a student organization and theatre production class that presents live entertainment every weekend in Isla Vista, a densely populated community on the beach and adjacent to UCSB. In Fall 2007 we feature IMPROVABILITY, UCSB's premier improv group every Friday night in Embarcadero Hall at 8 pm.
