Every event in one place — our ways to serve, learn, and explore together.
Life, Unscripted
This fun, interactive workshop brings together adaptability, problem-solving, and the playful practice of improvisation. Through exercises and games you'll explore ways to navigate new situations while staying present, connected, and authentically yourself.
What We'll Do Together
You'll leave with practical tools, and perhaps a little more confidence, to tackle whatever comes next. You don't have to know exactly what's ahead to know you can figure it out.
Good to Know
No improv experience necessary. The only constant is change (they say!), and these skills can be helpful in nearly every area of life. Whether you're navigating a new opportunity, meeting new people, trying something different, or simply figuring out what comes next, this is a toolbox everyone can use.
Led by Courtney Pong, founder of The Rozzie Square Theater and owner of CSz Boston, home of ComedySportz, with over 25 years as a professional improviser teaching everywhere from Emerson College to corporate workshops for companies like Deloitte and Biogen.

Learn American Mah Jongg - Wednesday Evening Series
Discover the fun, strategy, and social connection of American Mah Jongg in a welcoming, supportive workshop designed to help you learn the game and feel confident at the table. All beginners welcome, and if you've taken a course before and want to revisit the material, that's welcome too.
Mah Jongg is about more than learning the rules. It's about connecting with others, having fun, and enjoying the game together.
The mission of the Prison Book Program is to support people in prison by sending them free books and print resources that meet their specific needs and interests. Prisoners write into the program with specific requests and PBP volunteers do their best to fulfill them. Volunteering usually includes a “job” such as picking books, invoicing, packing and/or quality control. This is an extremely rewarding volunteer activity - don't miss out!
