Improv workshop #2 Sunday August 23rd 6-8:30pm at the Redwood Playhouse.
This free, fun, playful event is open to all.
The improv concept is not performance focused.
Our first session focused on spontaneous movement, and interpretation of emotion.

The intention of staying fully in the moment while responding to unpredictable situations can rewire preconceptions and help quiet your inner critic. Playing with unpredictability helps train an acceptance of reality, because you never know what direction an interaction will take!

The Redwood Playhouse is Sponsoring a special series of workshops to play with the craft of improvisational theatre.
Join others to explore and develop the techniques of improv.

Held once a month on Sunday evenings.

As usual SFMT tells it like it is:
"Is it just us, or does it feel like everything is falling apart?
Hallucinating robots, economic collapse, protesting frogs, people praying for the End of the World. This is not the future, or the democracy, we were promised! But the real question is: When it's all over will there be enough left to build something new out of this... wreckage?"

The Tony Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe opens its 67th season with
WRECKAGE: A Musical Tragicomedy.
The closest the mime troupe gets to Southern Humboldt this year is:

The San Francisco Mime Troupe does not do pantomime. We mean 'mime' in the ancient sense: to mimic. We are satirists, seeking to make you laugh at the absurdities of contemporary life, and at the same time see their causes.

CELEBRATING 250 YEARS OF FREE EXPRESSION.

California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick’s poem “My California” has been selected as one of seven official California contributions to the America250 time capsule.

“‘My California’ was inspired by my deep belief that every person’s voice is beautiful and important. California’s creative spirit is fueled by our diversity and imagination, ideals held dear by the California Arts Council. I hope that future Californians and Americans always have the arts and continue to hope, dream, and create,” said Herrick.

The time capsule will be buried outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 4, 2026, and will not be opened until 2276.
