Join The Penn Memory Center this fall for one of two sessions of “Cognitive Comedy Workshop.”
The free workshop, held 10 a.m. to noon at The Ralston House (3615 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.), highlights the relationship between cognition and long-form improvisation, as taught by local and East Coast improv comedians.
The course will be held for beginners. Meet, greet, talk, learn the basics, play games, do improv exercises, and finally act out scenes. Through listening, word association, and natural comedy instinct, you can find yourself confident, hilarious, and healthy!
Sign up for one of the following sessions by emailing tigist.hailu@uphs.upenn.edu or calling 215-573-6095:
- 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, October 31
- 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, November 21
This program was created by local playwright Leah Lawler with help from the Penn Memory Center’s Felicia Greenfield and Tigist Hailu.
