This week was brought to you by
MopCo.: where making things up isn't lying -- it's a gift for fiction.
This week was brought to you by apples, cider donuts, the appearance of red-orange leaves and a sudden craving for soup.
It was also brought to you by the good folks at the Mop & Bucket Company -- offering a sample improv class this Sunday, September 22nd, and a full slate of classes throughout the year. Not a performer? Improv can help increase your creativity and openness in the workplace too. You can catch MopCo performances every Friday night at 8 pm at Proctors and Saturdays at The Comedy Works. A different show every single night.
