Improv for Teens and Tweens
As part of the Summer Reading Program, the North Olympic Library System (NOLS) invites teens and tweens to express themselves using improv! Learn, create, connect, and have fun. Shannon Cosgrove will lead this interactive session on Monday, Aug. 2 at 1 p.m. Show up via Zoom. No registration required. Find Zoom log-in details at nols.org/teens-events.
Improv is the art of noticing. Your neighbor’s obsession with deadheading dandelions is hilarious! The way your cat has to turn around 4.5 times exactly before settling on your feet to sleep? That’s the beginning of a story. Shannon Cosgrove has made a creative life out of noticing the little things, and improv is her tool for turning these moments into stories, plays, and books. Bring your wits and your willingness to play. Online doesn’t mean disconnected, so join in on Zoom. Be gracious, be spontaneous, and have let’s have some fun!
