No experience necessary and all levels are welcome! Each week we will have a different theme with exercises and activities to allow us improve our improv skills. Whether you are interested in developing the skills for your professional or personal life, or you are someone who currently performs or would like to perform on stage, then there is something for everyone. The long-term objective of The Playground is to create a place for people to develop and create projects and shows, providing regular opportunities for those who wish to perform in shows. Facilitated by two very experienced improvisers, Neil Curran and Quinton O'Reilly, join us for some play! We also have guest teachers join us too. **Important Info** \* Each drop-in session lasts 2 hours and starts at 7pm in the Teachers' Club. \* Each drop-in costs just €12. \* You can also sign up for membership which costs just €30 per calendar month and gets you access to all workshops. \* No experience necessary and all levels welcome. \* Events run on a drop-in basis offering flexibility for those who can't commit to doing a course. \* Payment can be made on arrival. \* After the workshop, many of us stick around for chats in the bar upstairs so do stick around for it.

Regular Sat night Meetup Group

Click Link for all of the details: [https://www.suitcasegals.com/ireland-the-emerald-isle-march-16-26-2026](Ireland for St. Patrick's Day) Ireland, as experienced through this journey, unfolds like a timeless story—rich with old stone, sweeping green hills, and villages full of character. From the tranquil Wicklow Mountains to Kilkenny’s medieval charm, the country welcomes you with warmth and a deep sense of history. Cobh’s colorful harbor, Blarney’s legendary castle, and the bright streets of Kinsale offer a mix of heritage and lighthearted spirit. Farther west, West Cork, Killarney, and the Dingle Peninsula reveal Ireland at its most poetic—wild coasts, quiet lakes, and landscapes that feel almost sacred. The Cliffs of Moher rise in dramatic glory before Galway shifts the rhythm with music, markets, and seaside bustle. A stop in Athlone whispers a thousand years of stories, while Dublin brings the journey home with grand traditions, lively pubs, and cultural treasures at every turn. Throughout, Ireland feels both familiar and magical—a land that cherishes its past, embraces its visitors, and invites you to savor every winding mile.

Kindly understand that This is Not an online event. We created this for the people to communicate with each other (in the comment section) to find their travel mates. However, since the Meetup site requires a date and time. We constantly have to update the date and time to keep the event alive. **Dear friends,** If you have plans to travel somewhere in the world, and you are looking for a travel mate/roommate, you can post it here to let others know, and maybe you can arrange to travel together. It would probably be a good idea to meet up before deciding to travel together but at least this will give you a chance to find a like-minded travel mate. **How to Choose the Right Travel-mate** 1. Have some common interests. 2. Avoid people who tend to extremes. 3. Agree on expenditures before you leave. 4. Make sure your personalities 5. Friends aren’t always good travel companions 6. Don’t go backpacking with a luxury-seeker 7. Make sure you’re able to communicate 8. Agree on a similar budget 9. Avoid picky, crazy and whiny individuals 10. Test each other on a short trip 11. You don’t have to be like a couple of inseparable lovebirds Good Luck and Cheers, Ree & Smyl
