2SLGBTQ+ Adult Drop-In: Ice Cream & Improv
Join us on Wednesday, June 17th from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm for the final session of the 2SLGBTQ+ Adult Drop-In at PEERS Alliance before the summer break! Special guests and seasoned improvisers Andrea Avery and Jay Gallant, along with newbie improviser Julie Bull, will lead the improv games. No experience is needed. Just bring silliness and a willingness to play! Those who would prefer not to participate in the improv games are welcome to join for ice cream and be entertained.
The session will be held at the PEERS Alliance office, 250B Queen Street, Charlottetown.
