Let the (Unplugged)
Games Begin!

Let the (Unplugged) Games Begin!
with Kelsey Flynn, Improv Comedian and PaintBox Theatre Actor

Ages first through fifth grade. Registration is Required.

Register for July 9 here.
July 16, 2022 | 10:30 am - 12 pm
Register for July 16 here.

Kids from far and wide are invited to join improv comedian and PaintBox Theatre actor Kelsey Flynn for a morning of outdoor fun and shenanigans.

They’ll spend their time together playing old-time favorites like sack races, three-legged races, and banana tag, and then wrap up their time with an improv storytelling game involving one of the many iconic legends of Northampton - like the great Northampton National Bank Robbery of 1876!

Participants will have the chance to re-tell their story together in small groups using a simple improv story structure with their own cast of characters. Then the fun culminates in a no-pressure sharing with a small audience of their family members.

  • This workshop is for children ages first through fifth grade.
  • Each workshop is limited to 12 children.
  • Registration is required.
  • ​​Register for one or more sessions.
  • Sliding scale admission: $5 to $15.
  • ​Parents may stay during the event if they wish.

Dr. Alice Nash
Kelsey Flynn is an improviser and teacher with over 25 years of experience. She has taught elementary-school improv locally in Northampton and Amherst in after school programs as well as at Western Massachusetts’ only improv theater, Happier Valley Comedy. Her children’s theater experience also includes loads of roles with PaintBox Theater including Pierre in “Pirates!” and Polynesia in “Dr. Doolittle.” Kelsey enjoys teaching kids because she believes they are natural improvisers. “Childhood is a magical time of anything-is-possible-ness combined with the no-filter attitude of telling us what it is. Introducing comedy improv and more play are more ways we serve them in their exploration of their world in all of its possibilities.”
