This April is our busiest month since we reopened in November 2021! We have a huge variety of performances and events to share over the coming weeks, but this week is especially filled with laughs! Come see, learn, and experience it all at Mosesian Arts!

LIL BIT OF (ALMOST) EVERYTHING COMEDY | APRIL 12

Like the changing face of stand-up comedy, this inclusive lineup features racially diverse, female, male, and nonbinary, experienced comics of various ages and places of origin—and each of them hilarious!

They'll entertain you with their uniquely absurd experiences and witty points of view. Don't miss this original one-night-only show curated by New Normal Productions and featuring Amma Marfo, Steph Dalwin, Ira Claybourne, Ian Webster, and Roya Hamadani. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the show. So get yours before Friday!

IMPROV AT MOSESIAN ARTS

If you love comedy, why not try it yourself?!

Whether your goal is performing on an improv team, building a toolbox of improv techniques, becoming a more confident and spontaneous public speaker, or simply meeting friends and having fun, improv fits the bill!

Our Adult Beginner II Improv class (beginning Wednesday) is for new and returning students with no or some improv experience. Our Adult Advanced Improv class (beginning Thursday) is for anyone who's been doing improv for a while. All classes are individualized for the students enrolled to expand and build new skills.

Also this month, we're hosting a Musical Improv Workshop. This two-hour workshop will introduce seasoned improvisers to the skills needed to start meaningfully incorporating music into your improv scenes! From warming up your voice, supporting your scene partners, and exploring your balance of self trust and silliness, get ready to launch into the world of improvised musicals!

Another of our popular Improv Jams is also coming up on April 21! Each jam features a short set by a local independent team followed by a jam session hosted by veteran improvisors. This is an inclusive, collaborative event designed to create community and fun.

Check out the variety of other youth and adult classes in performing and visual arts too!

Feminist Art: Contemporary Perspectives, inspired by the history of feminist art, is also very much contemporary, reflecting on current issues of body politics, women’s rights, and environmental issues. Themes of the body, particularly the bodies of women and trans individuals, and how it is viewed in today’s society are open to re-examination in several pieces. See it through May 3 only.
