Just the Funny, the comedy-theater troupe with its own home in Coral Gables, plays host to The Nuclear Family this weekend when the New York-based company headlines the 2009 Miami Improv Festival. John Gregorio, Stephen Guarino and Jimmy Ray Bennett (pictured here) improvise musicals about a not-so-normal family, and Gregorio will teach master classes on how to build on improvisational skills to create rich characters and stories from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
