Memory Café: Improv comedy Workshop
April 21, Time TBD, in-person at Christ Church Neighborhood House, Great Hall
Join us for a morning of improv comedy! Participants can get out of their heads and experience “group mind”, while learning the tenets of improv comedy. Together we will laugh, play, and get very silly! This event is open to older adults and their family caregivers.
