Virtual Author Talk with the Smithosnian’s Paula J Johnson
Virtually step into the Smithsonian Institutionâs National Museum of American History with Curator Paula Johnson as she discusses the book Smithsonian American Table: The Foods, People, and Innovations That Feed Us.

A Saturday Dose of Fun (improv games for grownups with Henry Balzarini)
A Saturday Dose of Fun (improv games for grownups with Henry Balzarini)
Warning: This workshop may cause multiple moments of mirth, foster greater comfort in new situations, inspire creativity, lift your mood, release stress, make you more spontaneous, ease you into connecting enjoyably with other people and even make you laugh out loud. Using improv games, we will become a fast thinking, in the moment, loose goose brigade. Youâve been warned. Hereâs a little more about the content of the workshop from Henry: Although Iâll be using improv based exercises, theyâll be mostly warmup and group game activities. Not really improv scene or narrative building work. We will end with one or two short form improv performance type games, however. Focus will be on loosening up and having fun. If you are looking for serious improv study this wonât be it, but might be a good way to ease into it. That all said, the main objective is fun on a Saturday afternoon. Every 2nd and 4th Saturday! $5â10 suggested donation per session. No improv experience necessary. Intended for adults. Limit of 15 please, so sign up now: email hbquit@hotmail.com. about your host: Iâm Henry Balzarini and a native of Boston. In the 1980âs I lived in New York City where I…
