Dive Into Improv!

Sponsored by The Dive, this evening will encourage you let go of that pesky voice in your head that might be silencing your best ideas, all while playing and laughing with a delicious cocktail or mocktail in hand (open bar generously donated by Danny and Kerry LeFebvre of The Dive, cost is included in your ticket price!) This is NOT an acting class, but rather an opportunity to try out improv-based games and activities that can become everyday practices for being your bravest and most fabulous self. No acting or theatre experience is needed; just a willingness to play and LAUGH! *This event is for participants 21+ ONLY*
