Open Doors at HARRRP for Comedy Improv
Here’s a great idea for you on a brisk, frosty evening in November: gather your family, call up your neighbours, and walk over to your community centre at St. Peter’s HARRRP, 705 Main Street E (at St. Clair), for a memorable evening of fun and laughter. On November 17, as part of HARRRP’s “Evening of Entertainment” series, a fundraiser “Comedy Improv @ HARRRP” will be presented. Featuring Kid Teeth, this will be a live raucous performance of improv comedy at its best by some very talented young comedians. Kid Teeth, including Hamilton’s own Jessica Perkins, is a group of up-and-coming young comedians from Bad Dog Theatre in Toronto. Most of the gang, including Jessica, are Second City Conservatory alumni. Members hail from as far west as Vancouver, and as far east as England! Together, they collaborate regularly to build improvised stories in front of live audiences at Bad Dog Theatre. “Comedy Improv @ HARRRP” represents the first installment of a new initiative by HARRRP to welcome the neighbourhood into the Community Centre. Our vision is that, on a regular basis, HARRRP will crank open the big wooden doors, invite everyone into the friendly confines of St. Peter’s, to present an “Evening of Entertainment” for the entire community to enjoy. There will be lots of variety as we tap into the fantastic assets available right here in Hamilton. It might be a dance, or a musical performance, or poetry reading, but one thing is for certain: it will be a really fun evening for families and neighbours to enjoy together and strengthen our neighbourhood ties with each other. For the past five years, HARRRP has welcomed the neighbourhood to St. Peter’s Community Centre, offering a wide variety of programs, classes, and events, free of charge, for all ages. Encouraging people to come together, experience something different, and make new friends. Our new “Evening of Entertainment” continues this mission by providing an entertaining evening for neighbours to settle back, laugh, and enjoy the comedy together. With this launch, HARRRP is also very keen to hear from you, our neighbours and Sherman Hub residents, about the type of entertainment you would like to see presented at St. Peter’s. Do you have a favourite local entertainer that we could approach for an evening performance? Or maybe you have an entertaining gift to share with your community and would enjoy presenting that gift in the friendly environs of St. Peter’s. HARRRP would surely love to hear from you.
