– “The Mat!ch Game”: Bob Morsch loved the old TV game show, “Match Game,” that ran from the early 1960s to the early 1980s, so much that he revived it using Colorado Springs actors, comedians and singers. Audience members will have a chance to compete for prizes and gift certificates, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Millibo Art Theatre, 1626 S. Tejon St., $16; themat.org.
