We’re kicking off the end of summer with a burst of joy, laughter, and creativity — and you’re invited!
Purple Carrots Drama Studio is excited to announce SHAKE YOUR SILLIES OUT! , a brand-new virtual improv workshop for teens and adults (ages 15+) looking to boost their confidence, shake off those back-to-school nerves, and play together in a welcoming, neurodiverse-friendly space.
Whether you’re returning to school, work, or just regular life routines this fall, change can be overwhelming — and sometimes, the best remedy is just to get a little silly.
✨ What to Expect
This is not your typical Zoom session. Led by Purple Carrots Executive Director Alana Perri and our new COO Liv Meriano, this 90-minute online workshop offers:
-
A gentle introduction to improv games & warmups
-
Opportunities for self-expression and connection
-
A chance to meet Liv and other Carrots in a fun, low-pressure space
-
Loads of laughter, movement, and silliness
No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity, your energy (even if it’s low), and a willingness to try something new!
Workshop Dates
You can choose from the following time slots:
-
Monday, August 18
⏰ 3:00–4:30 PM EST
⏰ 6:00–7:30 PM EST -
Sunday, August 24
⏰ 3:00–4:30 PM EST
All sessions are held virtually on Zoom. Once you register, we’ll send you everything you need to log in and play with us!
Cost + Registration
The cost is just $25 per person. Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate and interactive.
(Psst — this is a great opportunity to try improv before committing to a full fall workshop!)
Why Improv?
Improv isn’t just about acting — it’s about saying yes, staying present, and building confidence in the moment. It’s a powerful tool for:
-
Navigating social anxiety
-
Enhancing communication skills
-
Exploring creativity in a playful way
-
Connecting with others in a supportive, inclusive space
This session is open to neurodiverse participants, shy folks, theatre lovers, curious beginners, and everyone in between.
Meet Liv!
We’re thrilled to welcome Liv to the Purple Carrots team! Liv brings a warm, energetic, and inclusive approach to facilitation. This workshop is a perfect way to meet her before the fall — and we think you’ll love her as much as we do.
We hope you’ll join us to shake your sillies out, meet new friends, and remind yourself how good it feels to just play.
See you soon,
The Purple Carrots Team
