Hey team,

I’ve got a show tonight at 7pm - Bar-Prov at Young Ethel’s - it’s free, just buy drink of some kind :)

AND my fellow castmates at tabletopnotch are participating in a really funny charity event for 826NYC! They are an awesome local organization that gets kids (and adults) into creative writing and are particularly focused on under-represented schools. Everyone deserves to tell their own story, and the classes they teach empower kids, particularly young black and brown kids, to think and write creatively. We got involved because they teach a Dungeons and Dragons writers class - and we love when nerds get encouragement <3

The event is called Trivia Night for Cheaters and it’s on October 7th! We’re raising money so we can cheat at trivia (and the money goes to 826NYC). The more money we raise, the more “cheats” we have access to - we are all very competitive people so we need that money. I mean, blah blah blah it’s for charity and the great work 826NYC does but we want to WIN. Our team is The Owlbearable Weight of Massive Talent (niche) and we are almost at our 2nd stretch goal, so consider donating :-)

And finally, The Bisque is hitting the road! On Saturday November 1st, we’ll have an 8pm show at Kismet Improv in Pawtucket, RI. It’s not on the website yet, but mark your calendars if you are in the area.

That’s it for now! Keep your chin up everyone - be sturdy and full of hope,

DM
