Elizabeth St. Improv
21 Elizabeth Street T1S 1A5 Okotoks, AB, Canada

AD Joseph here. I tested negative for COVID again (darn sore throats). We are kicking off a new indoor jam on Fridays from now until it becomes outside weather again. New Friday info below: Elizabeth St. will be continuing its Friday Nite Jam in Calgary in a cool house near Kensington. We will meet at the front of the house at 2119 4 Ave NW and Joseph will guide you in.... What is the Friday Nite Jam? - one-and-a-half hours of improv instruction and play - beginner-friendly - an introduction to Elizabeth St. Improv's improv philosophy and style - pay-what-you-will to support a non-profit How are we keeping you safe? - wearing masks - enforcing social distancing (2 m) when possible - providing hand sanitizer - please do not come if you are sick or are worried about transmitting the virus to someone Saturday info will come tomorrow!

Hey everybody, AD Joseph here. I have a sore throat and must self-isolate. I'm gonna get a COVID test tomorrow, but improv is cancelled this weekend. In the good news column, we have a new space in Okotoks for Saturdays thanks to the incredibly generous Matthew Lozinsky. And we're figuring out a Friday space for (hopefully) next week.... See y'all soon!

We didn't have enough peeps at Lions Campground for our Saturday Jam so David and I went to Hubtown Brewing. Come join us!

Friday Nite Jam continues in Riley Park in Calgary. We blew through our summer months but we are going to go until the weather craps out. Lucky today, the weather is beautiful for our new start time of 6:30 PM. Check our other posts for more details, but otherwise, happy Friday! In case you're new to our jams, I'm the giant in the picture! #comedy #comedian #friday #tgif #hilarious #improv #impro #improvisation #actor #lmao #improvcomedy #funny #fun #acting #solo #theatre #art #jam #freestyle

AD Joseph here. Finishing off our first month of improv drop-ins tonight at Riley Park. When I was scouting them out I made sure to find spots that had gazebos. And this week there's no tornado warning so I Get to use this meme I made. Happy Friday! #comedy #comedian #friday #tgif #hilarious #improv #impro #improvisation #actor #lmao #improvcomedy #funny #fun #acting #solo #theatre #art #jam #freestyle

We have some severe weather warnings this evening (July 24) so I will be cancelling Calgary improv for tonight. Keep an eye out tomorrow morning, but it looks like Okotoks improv is still good for tomorrow!

Wherein we discuss meeting expectation vs defying it and the applications in regards to genre and representation. Let me know your thoughts here or in the comments.

Who will be left standing after the pandemic? At Elizabeth Street we've been trying to find a way to do improv and keep people safe but we know it's a tall order in the world today.
