TWOW at 2:45 p.m.

Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder from your fun folks at TWOW.  TWOW (theatre without walls) will be meeting and playing games and having tons of fun tomorrow, Tuesday, at 2:45 in the Studio Theatre.  For those that don’t know where the Studio Theatre is….follow the hallway where the bathrooms are in the science building down past the teacher’s lounge, and then you will see Ben, Oliver, myself, and others.  Come there tomorrow after school.  We will be having a really great time.  Even if you’ve never done any improv before, come.  It’s a judgement free zone.  There will be laughter.  Laughter is good.

-See you tomorrow,
Ezra Wool
