Afternoon Activities San Francisco

Improv Jam Session | Beginner-Friendly Game Day

Join us for a fun day of improv games! This is a free, beginner-friendly jam session (not a formal class). It’s our second get-together game day led by the same host Talia - last time we had a blast! Nobody is forced to participate but highly encouraged to jump in and play. **What to expect:** * Improv - short for improvisational theater - is a form of live performance where characters, dialogue, and scenes are created in the moment. * We’ll have a mix of warm-up games, learn about character development, physical comedy, and storytelling. * Depending on audience participation, we’re planning about an 1.5-2 hour session. **Where and when:** * Sunday, May 3rd - meeting at 1:00pm, games start at 1:15pm. * William McKinley Monument in NoPa: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gSDmnZA9md6r5orU9 * We’re planning to use the space in front of the monument as our “stage”. * Plus, it’s more shaded and there are public restrooms nearby. If you’re still reading (whoo whoo), here is a Wiki rabbit hole about improv: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvisational_theatre Come play some games with us!
