Weekly Drop-in Theatre Improv Workshops

We would like to introduce you to the wonderful world of theatre improvisation through our weekly open, come-as-you-are, drop-in workshops. We meet weekly and encourage a fun, friendly environment in which to learn and explore your new acting improv skills. Beginners are welcome!

Our weekly drop-in workshops last just less than 2 hours and will take place starting at 7:30 PM (19h30) on most Thursdays all year! See the Facebook group The Preserve / Made to Measure. Contact us about the occasional cancellations.

Theatre can be physical; dress comfortably. The workshops last two hours. Everyone is Welcome, especially improv beginners! The cost is five dollars ($5 Canadian!), pay as you go.

Join our Yahoo Groups workshop Mailing List to be kept informed of date and time changes or cancellations.

Where do I go to Drop In?

The weekly drop-in workshop location will usually be in or near:

• Dalhousie Community Centre [DCC], 755 Somerset Street West
• North-west corner of Somerset Street and Empress Avenue
• Ottawa (Centretown), Ontario, CANADA

Look on the DCC notice board for The Preserve (or the old name Made to Measure or perhaps Some Assembly Required (SAR)) and follow the arrow to the room we have been assigned. We are usually in "Room 7" down the hall on the left from the main floor office.
