 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

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

Our care packages will be a part of that. WQC will supply containers and food items for the care packages.

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
