You’re Pretty Awesome

September 26th, 2011 | Posted by Cole in Completed Missions - ()

This year at Nuit Blanche we handed out the cards shown below. We had 500 individual cards printed! The goal was that they would be passed around from one individual to the next, throughout the night. Hopefully reminding people that they really are awesome, whilst spreading some joy to those who need it.


A BIG thanks to Iva Jericevic for the design of these cards!

And for those who are interested in handing out the cards themselves.
Just send us an email, and we will send you the pdf!

Subway Dance Party 2011

June 25th, 2011 | Posted by Cole in Completed Missions - ()

Improv in Toronto has been given the opportunity to run a giant real life Where’s Waldo Game at the On The Pulse Festival this year!

Harbourfront Centre and Improv in Toronto take the classic renowned book, and bring it to life. The pages will jump out of the book as fake Waldos are placed around the Harbourfront site. With help from the fake Waldos, who will be giving clues and handing out tasks, and with some clever sleuthing skills, families will be able to solve the mystery to find the real Waldo.

Sunday, July 3, 3-5 p.m. (Redpath Stage and Harbourfront Centre Site)

Confirm your attendance through our facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=213681661998691

NOTE: This event is more family oriented in terms of difficulty. We still encourage you to come out and enjoy the game, as well as the festival no matter your age. More than anything though, we are looking for as many volunteers as possible to play fake Waldos.

So, if you can volunteer, please do email us at improvintoronto@gmail.com

Upcoming: Free Hugs 2011

June 6th, 2011 | Posted by Cole in Completed Missions - ()

 7 years ago, one man, going by the name “Juan Mann”, set out to embrace passersby in the streets of Sydney, with nothing more than two arms.

Every year, on International Free Hugs Day, Improv in Toronto commemorates this man’s actions by gathering together the world’s largest brigade of Free Huggers.

This year is no different.
On July 2nd, come out and join Improv in Toronto as we continue to commemorate Jaun Mann’s work on the streets of Toronto.
We will be meeting at Nathan Philip’s Square at 3:00 p.m. to meet quickly before going out and delivering our hugs.

Feel free to join us at our freeze event earlier that day as well!
