Improv Comedy Classes

We’re kicking off our very first *Doing Nothing Together DC* meetup with something fun, low-pressure, and beginner friendly: a free improv workshop at MLK Library on Saturday, June 27 at 1pm. Important: RSVPing on Meetup lets us know you’re interested, but you’ll also need to register through Eventbrite to reserve your spot for the workshop. No acting or improv experience needed at all. This is meant to be a relaxed way to get out of the house, try something different, and meet new people in a casual environment. Expect light games, laughter, and a welcoming atmosphere. The workshop normally lasts about 1.5 hours and is at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library at 901 G St. NW. Washington, DC 20011. Someone at the information desk will tell you which room is hosting the improv class. If you’d like to meet beforehand so you’re not walking in alone, I’ll be by the information desk right after you enter the library from 12:45 PM – 12:55 PM and we can head upstairs together. Heads up: wear comfortable shoes because you will be standing most of the time. If you are driving, come about 10 minutes early to find street parking. Space is limited. If interested, please sign up through Eventbrite: [Eventbrite Registration](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/improv-for-all-workshop-at-martin-luther-king-jr-library-registration-1989259687274?aff=erellivmlt)

\*\*\*Please go online to buy your ticket here: https://lastham.com/buy-last-ham-standing-tickets-for-herndon/ Since tickets are general admission, we should plan to be at the theater by 7:40 to get seats together. The show starts at 8:00 p.m. The theater seats about 100 people. Please note that, because this is "clean comedy," at times there are young people in Last Ham's audiences. (This event is a short drive from our other event this evening -- dinner at Not Your Average Joe's. Please RSVP separately for that if you wish to attend the dinner.)
