Comedy | Back To Top | |
|
| Buffalo ComedySportz |
| Fri. Jul 9 to Sat. Dec 29 |
ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport! (If you've ever seen Whose Line Is It Anyway?, you've got the general idea.) Two teams of actors compete for the biggest laughs while a referee calls the fouls and gets suggestions from you, the audience.
Everything we do is improvised. We don't have scripts or pre-planned scenes. That's why a ComedySportz match wouldn't be possible without your suggestions. Just make sure your suggestions are clean, or the referee could call the "Brown Bag Foul" on you, and you'll end up wearing a paper bag over your head.

•Honing acting skills
•Increasing your confidence
•Sharpening public speaking skills

| Gasland Film Screening and Q+A |
| Thu. May 17 |
On Thursday, May 17 at 6 p.m. at Burning Books
(420 Connecticut St., Buffalo, NY), there will be a
free screening of the Emmy Award-winning
documentary Gasland. Afterward, there will be a
Q&A session with Food & Water Watch, a
nonprofit consumer organization that works to
ensure clean water and safe food. Fracking has
been cited as a threat to surface and ground
water throughout the U.S. Recent reports state
that fracking may happen in New York State as
early as this summer.
The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in
history has swept across the United States. The
Halliburton-developed drilling technology of
'fracking' or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a
"Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But
is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is
asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on
a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of
secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled
nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents
are able to light their drinking water on fire. This
is just one of the many absurd and astonishing
revelations of a new country called Gasland.

| Optimal Life Program |
| Mon. Apr 16 to Mon. Jun 11 |
Solazzare presents the Optimal Life Program
The Optimal Life Program is an eight-week course dedicated to the skills, information, and practices to help you live your best life. To live an Optimal life is to honor who you are, maximize what you have and continually evolve for the better. It is to become increasingly mindful and adept at aligning your thoughts, words, and actions with the calling in your heart. Therefore, recognizing that the best form of success is when your outer world becomes an accurate reflection of your inner essence.
Our intention is to provide you with a supportive and encouraging environment for self-exploration and development. Together we will make positive shifts in our awareness, mindsets, and actions that produce great results!
Join us for this extraordinary journey.
