Improv For New Friends
Don't be disappointed if you don't see a bunch of people attending. I advertise this on multiple platforms and the class usually sells out.
Improv comedy uses several techniques to create laughter. These include, creating an atmosphere free of judgement, saying 'yes', active listening, being positive, putting your focus on others, and the importance of play and laughter.
Not coincidentally, these are the same things that happen to us naturally when we are bonding with another person.
In this class, we'll explore these techniques not with the goal of being funny, but with the goal of being people that other people want to be around.
The organizer, Ralph MacLeod, is a co-founder of two independent improv clubs in Toronto - Bad Dog Theatre and Social Capital Theatre. He's been teaching improv for over 30 years. He also teaches these same techniques to several organizations including UofT, Google, Kraft, Shopify and many, many more.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have!
FAQs and Good To Know....
After every event, a group from this class sit down and have a drink together so be prepared to stay if you want! Of course, you don't HAVE to.
You also don't have to be single or bring a friend. The vibe of this class is much more 'making new friends' than a 'singles' mixer'.
We usually run to 8:15 so pay for extra parking!
EMMA | Jane Austin's matchmaking comedy | Scarborough Theatre $24
Join us for **Emma,** a play based on Jane Austen’s witty and romantic comedy about a spirited young matchmaker whose well-meant schemes lead to tangled romances, laughter, and surprises at every turn.
***You can use our promo code to purchase discount tickets for any performance.***
**THE PLAY:** Meet Jane Austen’s intrepid heroine Emma Woodhouse, the self-proclaimed “matchmaker of Highbury.” Armed with confidence (but questionable skill), Emma’s romantic schemes hilariously backfire as tangled relationships and surprising suitors emerge. With wit, charm, and plenty of misunderstandings, this lively adaptation of the classic novel brings to life a world of love, laughter, and a touch of scandal. Presented by the Scarborough Theatre Guild.
*Recommended for ages 10 and up. Contains period-specific attitudes.*

Introduction to Practical Philosophy
**You know there’s more to life than this.**
More than the noise. More than the striving. More than the constant doing.
If you’ve ever felt that quiet inner pull toward something deeper, this afternoon is for you.
Join us for an Open House at the **School of Practical Philosophy in Toronto** — a not-for-profit community where philosophy is not studied as theory, but lived in everyday life.
This is not a lecture. It’s a conversation.
A space for reflection, inquiry, and genuine connection with others who are also seeking truth.
All of our courses are offered by long-time students of the School who volunteer their time — not because they are paid, but because they have experienced the value of this work and wish to share it.
What to expect:
* A welcoming, no-pressure environment
* An introduction to practical philosophy (East + West, applied to daily life)
* A simple mindfulness exercise you can take home immediately
* Thought-provoking discussion with like-minded people
You are invited to attend with **no obligation**.
Stay for the first class, experience it for yourself, and decide if it resonates.
Come as you are — curious, questioning, or simply open.
Register to secure your spot: **[OPEN HOUSE](https://schoolofpracticalphilosophy.asapconnected.com/?org=1361#CourseGroupID=44887)**

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s
NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff.

The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s
