Hold That Pose | Two Smart Dogs

The group Improv Everywhere has executed over 70 guerrilla missions to bring improv pranks to the streets of cities like New York and Los Angeles. For their recent project, “Freeze Grand Central Station”, over 200 “agents” froze in place at the same second in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station and held their poses for five minutes. To see more missions or get involved, visit their web site.
