Community Calendar

These interactive, welcoming workshops use the tools of improvisational theater—like play, spontaneity, and "yes, and"—to build real-life skills for communication, confidence, and connection. No acting or comedy experience is needed. Through guided games and group activities, participants explore how improv principles can help them listen more fully, respond more flexibly, and thrive in daily life, even when things don’t go as planned.

Whether you're looking to speak up more, connect with others, or simply have fun in a judgment-free space, these workshops offer something for everyone.

1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, 9/21-12/7.

An introduction for beginners to the basics, and a refresher class for more advanced students, to practice the challenge of painting watercolors from a logical approach. Each student will work at his or her own pace and personal style will be encouraged. We’ll explore how to get your ideas onto paper, whether you have never used watercolor before, just find watercolor too frustrating (you’re not alone), or just want to loosen up. We’ll explore basic techniques that will form your own library of approaches to different effects that you want to explore and combine. Our emphasis will be on your own direction, color choices, subject matter and style preferences.

Classes limited to 8 students. Some drawing skill is helpful but not mandatory. Mondays in November (11/3 to 11/24).
