What has non-Caucasian skin, four gangly arms and an in-progress BFA in contemporary arts? Howard and Arthi.

With that introduction, Howard Dai and Arthi Chandra kick off their new improv comedy show, We Will Do Sketch. It’s onstage Wednesday, May 23 as part of the Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays series at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St.

Howard is a graduate of New Westminster Secondary, while Arthi is a Cariboo Hill alumna.

Now they’re both theatre students at Simon Fraser University, and they’re joining forces for the third and final presentation in a series of shows produced in conjunction with the Arts Council of New Westminster’s Momentum Youth Arts Movement. The duo – who perform as See King Arrange Mints – promise “twists, turns, songs, surprises and giggles” as they hit the stage for their 7 p.m. show.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. You can just show up, or reserve a table at 604-759-0819. Shows are on a pay-what-you-want basis, by donation.
