What story is hiding inside an everyday object? Participants are invited to bring a random item from home or from the thrift store and use it as inspiration for imaginative characters, scenes, and stories. Through fun theatre games and collaborative improvisation, ordinary objects become extraordinary as creativity and laughter take center stage. No acting experience is necessary.
