 A Very Improvised Christmas Show — Two Black Cats Improv present a Christmas inspired long-form improv night! Get ready for a cosy, chaotic, very improvised evening of comedy at the Studio Theatre (in the Manoel Theatre complex). We’re kicking off with a handful of short-form games to warm you up, then diving into a Christmas-inspired long-form set — a full, connected, made-on-the-spot story built from your suggestions. Expect weird turns, honest laughs, and totally unique theatre that exists for one night only.  Sunday 28th December  Show starts 6:30 PM — finished by 8:30 PM  Studio Theatre \| 81 Old Mint Street  Pay-what-you-can — we’ll be collecting a cash donation during the show, so please bring your wallet! What to expect: \* Short, fast games to get everyone buzzing. \* A long-form improv piece in the second half — no script, all instincts. \* A warm, friendly room — great for improv fans, theatre lovers, and anyone who enjoys being surprised. \* Running time is tight — we start at 6:30 sharp, so please arrive early for a good seat. Bring your friends, bring your best suggestions when the host asks (we love a good prompt), and bring a little cash to support the troupe. This is intimate, live theatre — and you’ll be able to support this budding improv troupe.  See you there — let’s make something out of nothing. — Two Black Cats  (Questions, accessibility needs or want to perform in a future improv night? Email twoblackcatscomedy@gmail.com

Let’s meet, enjoy a respite from January weather, and wander the gardens. Free neanthe bella palms are available to guests, beginning at 10am, while supplies last. Afterwards, we can visit the nearby East Market (212 Kelton Avenue).

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry! We’ve created a great little community of Movie Group friends! Rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve people in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, we’ll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers. PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm. LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter here” on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the majority of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.

But the benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering can provide a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Thanks for your help and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
